My parents always tease that my first sentence was 'can I pet your dog'. I have been a dog lover and owner my whole life and spent 6 years working in pet resorts. I am a runner and very active so I would be happy to run or hike with your dog. I am currently in grad school to become a Speech Pathologist so I am pretty flexible with my availability. My fur baby is a 10 year old Rott mix that I rescued 8 years ago. While on the subject of my dog... she's not what you would call an easy dog, meaning I have plenty of experience with dogs that are fearful of strangers, shy, etc. Not to brag or anything, but dogs love me. I can't wait to meet your 4-legged family member!
