I have care for my own dogs (a black lab and golden retriever mix and a piebald dachshund) since I was seven years old. In addition I have taken care of the dog, and dogs, of neighbors, family, and friends. I currently work for the dog company Wag!, and I'm ready to see and love more dogs through Rover! In addition, I work alongside a blind man who used to train service dogs (an incredible story that I'm happy to share in person), so I utilize many of those service dog tactics when dealing with the dogs on my sittings/walks. I am trained at handling many emergency situations with dogs, and my observation and caution have prevented multiple scary experiences! I am a student at UC Berkeley, thus my availability varies, but hopefully I can take care of your pup! I also work as a Certified Nursing Assistant and a Home Health Aide, so caring for living things runs deep. I often dog walk my neighbors dog for free, I love being able to exercise with a cheerful (panting) companion. I'm an active person, so just say the word and I'll keep your dog active too.
