I am a local youth worker and serve in Americorps! I absolutely love dogs, but live in a small apartment and therefore cannot own one myself! I grew up with very hyper boxers who had tons and tons of energy and loved to run! I am excellent at matching your dog's energy, running around with your dog until it's tired and playing endless games of fetch. I love dogs of all sizes and am good at working with shy or scared dogs as well. I take care of my sisters dog a couple of days a week, and absolutely love it! Dogs feed my soul and if I could have one, I would! I especially love old, sweet dogs who need a bit of extra love and attention. I do work 9-5 but with a very flexible schedule, and can be available during the day if need be to take your dog on a walk and to get out of the office a bit! I do not work on the weekends. I love to hike, read, cook and play with animals! I am good with cats as well, and can easily balance all types of animal care in your home!
