The moment I was old enough to have a dog of my own I immediately fell in love with animals. After that I would find any excuse to spend all of my time with animals. When I was 15 I started to become the neighborhood dog walker and have been walking dogs and house sitting both cats and dogs ever since.

I'd describe my personality as patient, energetic, and caring I like working with animals because I have two dogs of my own and they are the greatest things that have happened in my life. They are a beautiful companion and so energetic and they keep me busy. In my spare time, I like to walk my own dogs and bake desserts
