I've been caring for dogs since my beloved maltese Sir Henri Matisse came into my life when I was 11. I recently quit my job in finance to take some time off and re-think my career goals--so my schedule has a ton a flexibility! I am a great belly scratcher. I'm a runner, and always love a dog companion for any speed or distance. I also spend a lot of time walking around NYC and would love to take your dog with me! I'm always careful when crossing the road, and am very respectful of a dog's need to stick to a routine. I'm also highly attentive and sensitive when a dog doesn't seem to be feeling well. And I am cautious of dirty paws in clean houses!
