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.
