I'm a responsible lady who loves dogs! I'm timely, active, and enjoy the outdoors. I've been taking care of dogs since my family adopted my first dog, Obi, from a local shelter for my 8th birthday. It was my biggest household chore and the best joy to care for him and our other dog, Lola, who we adopted a couple years later. You can't imagine the joy of seeing that my dog had hopped the fence (a "jumper" as the shelter employees called him, he settled down in his later years) and come to meet me at school when he was a young pup. I now have a senior dog, Carmella, who is a relaxed, calm gal. But I'm looking forward to hanging out with dogs of all ages! I'm in the process of lowering my work hours as I attend school so I have flexible availability!
