I absolutely love pets, but my landlord doesn't allow them. I took small animal care in high school, and I passed the class with an A! I can't remember a time growing up when I didn't have a cat or a dog in the house. I promise I'll work hard!

My fur babies are my life, I have 2 dogs and a cat. My two dogs are 60lbs and 115lbs so I am able to handle larger breeds.
I like to bring the fur babies on walks, can drop off at daycare and help with handling.
