I've always been surrounded by dogs but now I find myself living in a tiny downtown condo and I'm hesitant to adopt another dog since my beloved Beagle, PJ, passed away. I do have a cat and have started a cat-sitting co-op with my friends but cats just don't satisfy my need for a "dog-fix". I was volunteering at a local shelter walking their dogs but they've now moved out of the area. I'm extremely reliable (a retired environmental engineer), good under pressure (I'm a former EMT and emergency responder), very honest and just love playing with dogs. I can also help out by brushing your dog, trimming their nails (I have a nifty dremmel style trimmer) and make sure they’re fed, watered and happy.
