I am a junior at the University of Pittsburgh and an addition to being an avid pet lover, I have many animals back home that I help care for, including 3 dogs and 5 chickens (as well as cats in the past). I currently live in an apartment in Oakland on the second floor and in addition to having a small backyard I have a roomy and welcoming home that is a great environment for animals to live in. As for my surrounding community, I live less than 5 minutes away from Schenley Park and Oakland itself is a great area to walk and play with dogs as it is welcoming, friendly, and peaceful. I will not leave pets unattended for long periods of time and I will make sure that we have a lot of outside time together, including walks, runs, and anything else they might require. I am an extremely loving pet owner and would make sure that any animal in my care receives all the attention and love that they need.
