I'm a pet-parent to three dogs (border collie, great Pyrenees, and total mutt!). I've had the privilege of sharing my life with many fine dogs and even a few fabulous cats. I've owned and handled very small dogs (a very opinionated Yorkie) and very large dogs (bullmastiffs in my high school years) and am confident in my interactions with all of them. Many of the dogs in my life came from shelters, so I'm comfortable with dogs who are still working on their social skills. I'm a parent to young children, so I'm in the habit of patience these days. Additionally, I'm a not-very-fast runner, so if your dog needs a jog, that's something I can provide. I've been in a position of needing to leave my pets home longer than I wanted to, so I'm excited about providing others with walks and company!
