I'm the person that all my friends call when they need help with their pets, and as it brings me so much joy, I thought I'd join Rover! I grew up with terriers (welsh and wire fox) in the UK, and then when I moved to San Francisco, I felt my apartment wasn't conducive to having a pet. I've looked after terriers, doodles, huskies, german shepherds, and all sorts of mixes. I love walking, particularly at the beach or up and down these crazy hills, so having a dog to do that with suits me right down to the ground. My long term goal is to have a therapy dog (or 2) for hospice work. I was also step-mom to a beautiful cuddly cat for the last 5 years, so am happy to look after your cats too!
