"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I grew up with a Bichon Frisé and have helped care for pets for the majority of my life. Because of my childhood pal, I enjoy working with small dogs the best. In 2012, I started professionally caring for dogs. In addition, I have volunteered some of my time helping walk and socialize dogs at the local Humane Society. Dog walking and dog sitting appeal to me because they are helpful services that incorporate my passions of being with animals and spending time outdoors.
