I grew up with mutts & rescue pups, and in junior high school my best friend was a long haired dachshund named Cricket. I happily dog sit for my coworkers, but unfortunately they don't take enough vacation days. While I'm mostly available on evenings/weekends, my job provides enough flexibility that I can work from home if need be. Additionally, my roommate is also a dog lover (proud sister of two goldens who live at her family's home) and works different hours providing more flexibility and companionship. On a more personal level, I'm a Texas-native who has earned the title of a local after living in SF for the past four years. I'm a commercial banker by day and aspiring food & wine connoisseur by night. I love dinners with friends & movie-nights-in, and at the same time hate the thought of being trapped indoors during my free time.
