I am the owner of a 14-year-old treeing walker coonhound. She is slowing down these days so I'm looking for some canine running partners who could use the exercise. I'm also interested in walking dogs who prefer to sniffing to running and would like to take things a little slower. I am the father of a three-year-old human and I plan to attend graduate school at WCU in the fall. I have spent the majority of the last ten years in social work, mostly working with Asheville's homeless population, but I have spent the past year in early childhood education. I have nurturing spirit and I feel most fulfilled when I am caring for others...human or otherwise. I love dogs and the coming year presents a great opportunity for me to work as a care-giver to pets. While I will not be able to take on many clients because of the workload of grad school, my schedule will be pretty flexible. There will likely be one weekday during which I will not have any availability, but I will otherwise be available for walks or drop-in visits while your out of town. I am centrally located in East-West Asheville and I am friends with a couple of other responsible folks who care for dogs who I can connect you with if I am unable to meet your scheduling needs. I love dogs and I love being outside. I will do all I can to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for during our time together.
