Since before the age of 9, I cried everyday for my parents to get me a doggie. After befriending a stray cat, loving it, then loosing it, I wanted another friendly companion in my life. At 10, my parents gifted me a puppy that I have spent the last 10 years absolutely in love with. My dog is part Collie, part German Shepherd, so he shared the speed and strange zoomies as a border collie, and the protectiveness as a German Shepherd. Now that he’s 10 years old, he doesn’t have as much energy in him anymore and only requires two walks a day. From fostering dogs, to mothering one, I’ve been able to learn how to attune to dogs needs via their body language and behavior. Tending to these beautiful creatures also helped me develop immense empathy, and they always seem to uplift my mood. I now am a frequent dog walker for my neighbors, and have worked with a variation of different dog breeds such as; corgis, boxers, pit bull mix, huskies, husky mix, dachshunds, ect… I have experience with a dog that suffers from severe anxiety as well as puppies, pets with disabilities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with any kind of animal, and find that their youthful, pure energy, makes it easy for me to connect with them.
