Hi, I am a nursing student at Loyola University Chicago. I have grown up and cared for my family's dogs my entire childhood, but am looking to have more interaction with animals when I am away at school missing my dog.
I regularly walk my family dog, feed it, take care of it, and am very comfortable around animals.
