This year I will have an extremely flexible schedule, and would love to use that time to help out you and your dog! Animals, especially dogs, have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it was my own family's dogs Megan, Jesse or Coco, or a neighbor's dog I was sitting, some of my happiest memories involve the boundless love and energy that dogs give us. As our companions, dogs are living in a world mostly built for humans, but the "philosophy" of dog ownership I grew up with was one my dad emphasized - to think about the world from the dog's perspective, and then try to provide an social and physical environment that benefits that dog. For all they give us, they deserve nothing less!
