I have loved dogs for my entire life! When I was a child I cut a deal with my mom that I could get my first dog when my little brother entered first grade and now (many years later) the first thing I do in the morning is take my own fur baby Lucy for a walk. When Lucy was a puppy we had a dog walker come to the house and I would get a text each day when she went on her walk -- I would interrupt meetings at work to look at the daily photo and to read the text summarizing how the visit went. Coming home from work my greatest joy has been greeting Lucy at the door, playing with her, and running around the backyard with her. I know that a lot of pet owners think of their dogs as family members and I know how important it is to feel like you can trust the person looking after your loved one. I recently left my corporate job and have spent time reflecting on what is next for me -- I want to spend time on the things I love and I am passionate about happy and healthy dogs. I'm a reliable and trustworthy person and it would be my pleasure to help care for your dog -- I'll love them like they are my own.
