Dogs have been a big part of my life. I grew up with an English Springer Spaniel and a Golden Retriever. They were the best companions growing up and miss having them around. I live a very active lifestyle and spend most of my time outdoors. Thanks to my career choice, I am able to check on dogs throughout the day and even take them with me to work. I am able to take any dogs I care for on hikes, walks, and to the park.
