I grew up with dogs and I currently take care of two dogs, Pat and Cashew. As a kid, my family had just about every animal you could think of. We cared for parrots, hamsters, fish, flying squirrels, guinea pigs, snakes, and more. I was instantly attached to our dogs over all the other pets and knew I needed to work with and care for dogs in my life. I spent the last year in Hawaii teaching 7th grade math and also walking and petsitting a couple of dogs. Now I am back on the East Coast and I am excited to walk, run or jog with your dog! Caring for other people's pets is incredibly rewarding and enjoyable and I look forward to continuing to work with pets.
