I work as an underwriter in midtown-Manhattan, Monday-Friday. I own a 4-year old cat named Oscar. I grew up with 2 dogs, a Boxer and a German Shepard. They are amazing! I like to stay as active as possible and love spending time with animals, even if they are not my own! I have spent a lot of time volunteering at an adoption shelter in Philadelphia called PAWS. I would spend most of time with cat care but got hands on experience with walking the adoptable dogs and have them socialize at adoption events. I have had 10+ years of experience of watching dogs for other people. As a child I would beg my neighbors to let me walk their dogs for fun! I would take care of their dogs while they went away for weekend trips and as an adult, gained more responsibility with longer stays. This may be biased, but one of my favorite dogs to watch is my sister's Buddy. He is a three-legged mutt adopted from California. He is the sweetest, most gentle guy and I love spending as much time as I can with him!! I want to make you and your dog feel as comfortable as possible. Your dog will be in great hands with me! I am responsible, friendly and organized. I am able to follow any specific instructions you leave and would provide updates throughout your time away!
