I'm one of those people who goes straight to the dog at someone's apartment. From the age of 1, I've had two different dogs growing up (Yorkie and Cockapoo). Those two gave me so much experience with giving dogs attention: including lots of lovin' and decoding what they're barking for. I’m a Product Manager at Google who’s a Chicago native and has been walking dogs in the city for as long as I can remember. I've dog-sat for my neighbors in the past, so I’m all game for a sleepove if not scratching their ears the whole time. I love dogs to death, and have an understanding of what they want and feel. Some say I'm a dog whisperer. I just think I give out quality belly-rubs.
