I grew up in Evanston with a gorgeous pomeranian Picolo whom I adored and cared for daily, taking him on walks before and after school. Since then I've cared regularly for an aggressive lhasa apso, an aging poodle and variety of larger dogs in the Caribbean. I have dog and cat sitted for family and friends over the years and have a soft spot for the former. I recently returned to the Chicago area after working abroad for 3 years and am looking for part-time work to augment my income as I get settled. I work in project management and operations improvement for government and business, and hold a Master of Public Policy from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!). I enjoy affectionate exchanges with dogs and making breakthroughs with challenging personalities. I appreciate dog walking because it allows us both to build trust and stay fit year-round!
