I was fortunate enough to grow up with and take care of a golden retriever (Roxy). On top of that I spent a lot of time taking care of the neighborhood pets while their owners were gone. I still take care of friends pets (dogs and cats) from time to time. I have also been known to get close to the dogs at the previous companies where I've worked. I think you will be happy with the enthusiasm I bring to any dog encounter. Outside of taking care of pets I run a small woodworking company in San Francisco (which is also where I live) where we make signs, engravings, cutouts and just about anything made out of wood. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!
