Originally from Dallas, I love exploring the city and walking around the parks and alongside the river (Battery Park is one of my favorites). Currently, I am a college student and barista, but have always been proud to hold the title of "dog lover." I am studying Journalism and constantly have my nose in a New Yorker or Atlantic article. Besides reading and listening to podcasts, I seek to live an active lifestyle and regularly boulder and do yoga. The family dogs I grew up with (a rescue, Pitbull, and Bullador) taught me lessons in optimism, joy, and responsibility. I have about ten years of experience caring for pets. Canine friends need love, attention, positive reinforcement, affirmation, and of course "walkies." I seek to provide tender care as well as the practical needs your dog requires. Caring for your dog with tenderness and love, mimicking the same attention they receive from you is my top priority, along with making sure the get in some fun exercise. I am available most mornings before 9am and in the evenings after 6pm. My time is flexible and I am willing to communicate on a schedule that will be perfect for you!
