Although I never had a dog growing up (my mom was allergic), I've always loved animals and dogs especially. I only had parakeets and goldfish, but have learned a lot about taking responsibility and taking care of animals from an early age. I also have experience and am great taking care of my friends' dogs and cats. My formal experience with dogs all came from volunteering at PAWS in Chicago for 3 years from 2012 to 2015. From that experience, I am familiar with taking care of, feeding, and playing with dogs of all sizes, ages, and types. I'm also active and love walking/ running with dogs! As I live with roommates in my current Chicago apartment, I will not be hosting any pets overnights. However, I am happy to visit your pets at your places and walk your dogs as many times as necessary. Thanks for the consideration!
