Hello! My first job ever, as a 6 year-old, was walking my neighbor Eleanor's 5 dogs. Two of them were old and rather ill, the others were energetic puppies. Early on, I learned how to cater to them depending on their specific needs. I lived with a roommate with 2 dogs for three years, and would walk them and take care of them when she would be at work. I've always loved dogs, particularly because my mother was allergic and I could never have one of my own. When I'm around them, they get my undivided attention. I'm an athletic little lady who can keep up with a puppy's energy, yet, too, have the patience and innate nurturing quality to tend to the wiser pups :-)
