Update: I will be starting school August 1, so I might not be the best fit if you're looking for a long-term dog walker. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I encourage you to check out some of the walkers who are new to Rover. I grew up in a family of dog lovers! My experience ranges from a Great Dane all the way down to a teacup yorkie. I’m looking forward to getting to know your dog and making sure that his/her needs are met while you’re away. I recently moved to the city for medical school, and I’m looking forward to exploring the parks and sidewalks with your pup. Since I'm new to the bay area, I've been spending my weekends on urban hikes. I'm also a big fan of the parks in my area, such as Huntington Park next to Grace Cathedral. I'm sure that your dog would like to help me explore our beautiful city. I've done a lot of dog walking and sitting for friends, and I know how hard it can be to trust a stranger with your dog. I can assure you that I don't take this responsibility lightly. I am a dependable and mature person (micro-resume: 6 years in Submarines, M.S. Molecular Biology, published researcher). Feel free to contact me if you want to know more about me, and how I can help you care for you pet.
