I am a junior at Virginia Tech and got a puppy over quarantine back in March. I know how much attention dogs need and love to play with them. I have had dogs and cats all my life and am very experienced in caring for them. I would also pet sit for my neighbors ever since middle school.

I've always had animals and I've always loved them very much, so I feel comfortable taking care of and protecting them. I started taking care of cats and when my neighbor went away I was responsible for taking care of and feeding them. I've always walked dogs and for me it's also fun.
