My husband brushed off me telling him how dogs are drawn to me until he witnessed it for himself: We were living in Brooklyn, NY at the time and were walking back home when I saw a tiny Bulldog pup. The dog ignored my husband, looked me in the eye, went around a tree and bee lined for ME. Lots of kisses. We don't own a dog at the moment but have 2 cats...by accident. They're both feral rescues that just kinda happened. One is a foster fail the other was re-homed by a friend of a friend to us instead of a high-kill shelter. I am a volunteer dog walker with Tails of Trail and MACC (Metro Animal Care and Control). I dog walk/groom, socialize cats, take dogs for Bow Wow Breakout and am a cat foster parent when I am able to (hence the no boarding). When I lived in NYC I was a volunteer dog walker for Sean Casey Animal Rescue (SCAR), Brooklyn Animal Rescue Coalition (BARC), as well as volunteered at Best Friends' events. We also fed 6 feral cats and an opossum in our building. I am COMPLETELY flexible during weekends as well as later in the week (Thurs. Fri). I am a child therapist so I follow the school schedule and am usually done with work by the late afternoon. I have winter break, spring break and summer break off of work to stay for extended periods of time for more frequent walks and check-ins. I treat the animals I watch and sit much like the children and families I see for therapy: with compassion, sensitivity, and making sure their needs are met when working together. Looking forward to taking care of your fur covered friends :)
