Being around dogs has always been an amazing stress reliever for me. I've been caring for my family dog, a mini schnauzer named Mac, for years. I love being around him, being able to take him for walks, play with him, and being greeted by such a loving presence. Walking dogs is really when I get to know them and bond with them most. I care for other dogs as well, primarily through house-sitting or just stopping in when the owner isn't able to walk or check-in on their dog during the day, With pups, I'm firm, yet friendly, and I love all shapes and sizes! I'm easy going and flexible with with scheduling. I work at an architectural firm in North Beach, so I'm available in the area for weekday drop-ins. I'm also available anywhere in the East Bay area before and after work, and on weekends. I own a car, so I'm able to get around fairly easily if necessary.
