I've been fortunate to have grown up around dogs my entire life. Being raised with Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers and a variety of rescues, I learned to love and more importantly, connect with dogs from a young age. Through adulthood, I have maintained my fix of animal attention - mostly by caring for the pets of close friends, family members, and others within my community. I have grown over the years to love all types of breeds including Shepherds, Spaniels, Terriers, and all types of Doodles! Since (temporarily?) leaving corporate America and joining Rover a few months ago, I’ve taken on a wide range of clients and have become increasingly confident in my ability to care for and reinforce training with leash-reactive dogs, large and sometimes aggressive breeds, and dogs with special needs. I especially love puppies and dogs that are high-energy - Rover is my workout! I have spent more weekends than I can count with my K9 nieces and nephews - and I'd be lying if i said these weren't some of my favorite times! As an active explorer of the city and eighth-generation New Yorker who has visited many of our beautiful blocks, I'm looking forward to becoming your pets' next BFF and having them along for my adventures!
