I used to walk/ take care of two dogs in my neighborhood when I was 12. I'm looking to pet sit while you are at work or on vacation! I love to play with and walk my chocolate lab Reya. I love animals so much that in my free time I go to orphans of the storm to play with the cats. I hope to become a vet in the future.

I have had dogs of my own ever since I could remember. I have always had a pet in my home. I feed my pets and take them for walks and car rides, which they love. I treat my pets like my kids. Anytime my friends and family members go out of town, they call me and ask to take care of their pets while they are away.
