I grew up with 3 dogs: a beagle-sharpei mix, a pit-shepherd mix, and a chow mix. I began volunteering with stray organization, Stray Rescue of St. Louis, when I was 12 years old. With Stray Rescue I walked dogs, did laundry for the shelter, and cleaned kennels. My family and I have fostered 20 dogs with the same organization. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have worked with dogs with different kinds of aggression, anxiety, medical issues, and physical ailments. Aside from my volunteer work, I've been dog-sitting and house-sitting for 10 years. I walked dogs professionally in New York City for two years and now I have relocated to Toronto where I have continued to care for many doggies!
