Highlights
Pet care experience
Lover of Dogs, Raiser of Pups
"If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." Beyond my lifelong love of dogs. I have over 13 years of personal experience raising, training, and caring for them. My most rewarding experience came from spending a year in Rajasthan, India, where nearly all dogs are strays and are not generally welcomed by society. I became to slowly earn the trust of the strays living around my house, eventually feeding them, bathing them, removing parasites from their bodies, and even house-training them. Caring for dogs who are afraid of humans and are understandably aggressive or territorial, taught me the importance of being assertive and earning a dog's respect. I love dogs, I form healthy bonds quickly with them, I know how to care for them, and I appreciate the responsibility of the privilege of caring for a member of your family.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a quiet apartment in Montclair with easy access to parks and nature. I have comfy pillows, blankets, and toys to keep my visitors occupied between walks and play.
A typical day
I live near several parks, dog-parks, and car-free zones, so there will be plenty of places for us to get out, walk, and play together. I also love playing with dogs indoors whether that's hide-and seek, indoor fetch, or good-natured tug of war.
