I'm originally from New York but have been living in other cities across the country for the past 10 years (Clemson, Chicago and Seattle). I recently moved back to NY and just bought a place in Long Beach. I grew up having dogs and miss having a dog in my life :) While growing up my family volunteered for Guiding Eyes for the Blind and we have participated in their "home socialization" program with over 400+ puppies. Participating in this program has made me very familiar with training dogs and I love being around dogs of all breeds. I've watched many dogs with Rover while living in Seattle and would love to start watching dogs in NY now that I live here. I work from home so I can easily give your dog the love and care it needs. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! :)
