Since childhood, I have had experience caring for a number of different animals, namely bunnies, fish, turtles, and birds. Now, as an adult, I have 1 dog of my own that I share with my mother named Penny, who is a 12-year-old chihuahua that I care for on the daily since I was 19 years old. Aside from that, I have been entrusted with taking care of friends and neighbors’ pets whenever I had (or have) the chance, which I have been paid for. In addition, while living in Cohasset (I relocated to Norwood 2 years ago), I often spent a lot of time at the nearby animal shelter after school or on weekends, which really instilled a love of caring from various animals that has lasted the past decade.
