Since a child, I have been both a pet owner and caregiver. My mother is a life-long vegan who cares highly for all living creatures and has implemented those ethics into my character for as long as I can remember. I have owned 3 dogs on my own and have been a caregiver to 5 dogs and 6 cats throughout my child and adulthood. I have been running with dogs since I started track in high school. I love animals, I treat them with respect, and I am as active with them as they need, to feel fulfilled and satisfied with our walk. Unlike some, I am extremely aware of a pets needs and validate them as though I would a humans. Other than that, I am a friendly and extremely flexible worker. I'm willing to work with anyone's schedule or specific situation that needs catering to, whether it's your shy or aggressive dog, or odd schedule that needs special catering. I am open to meeting with anyone first for coffee or a quick chat to verify I am the right person you would like to be handling and taking care with your dog. Thank you!
