I grew up in a neighborhood in Michigan that had many dogs to play with, including the dog my family owned for about 5 years. Though he was a tad high maintenance, we loved him endlessly. I became comfortable with big and small dogs alike at a young age. Now, living in Chicago, I work in fundraising for a nonprofit organization downtown. It's a bit difficult to have a dog of my own, but I'm excited to be able to help care for, play with, walk, and love others' dogs. I enjoy being outside in Chicago in all the seasons (yes, even winter!) and exploring all the neighborhoods have to offer. I normally work 9-5 hours, though can be free for evening and weekend walks.
