I grew up having dogs as pets and genuinely love spending time with them. I enjoy walking with them, playing with them, and finding their favorite spots for me to scratch. I would love to have one of my own one day, but my housing currently limits that possibility. I live right near Cheesman Park and frequently walk there for exercise, and would love to have your dog join me! I am allergic to cats though, so unfortunately I can’t take care of your cat friend if you have one. I've spent a lot of time outdoors as an environmental educator, hiking with and teaching kids how to be stewards of the planet. I am also an artist and illustrate scenes from the natural world - my goal is to publish a children's book one day. I am a compassionate and caring vegetarian and am very responsible with anyone entrusted to my care, your pet included! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your specific requests.
