I am a recent graduate from Cornell University with a degree in Animal Science. I have 2 years of paid experience with pet care and currently work full-time with horses. I love cats and dogs of all kinds and would be happy to provide in-home pet sitting.
I've always been an animal lover. Anytime I see a pet on the street or visit family/friends I'd much rather hang with the dog, cat, etc. I have a St. Bernard of my own so larger animals aren't a problem. I've always had a deaf Boxer and trained her myself to do simple commands and signs.
