I grew up in northern California and have been fortunate enough to share my life with many wonderful dogs! I raised my first dog, pogo (a golden retreiver) from a pup and later on I rescued my pit bull mix, Trixie, from an animal shelter. Trixie had arthritis since I rescued her and lived to the ripe old age of 14, so I'm experienced in dealing with older dogs and the extra care they require. I jog regularly, so I can jog with your dog if you want! Although I have another job, my schedule is very flexible and I'd love to spend more of my time with my furry, four-legged friends! I'm sure your pet/pets and I will be fast friends and have a great time!
