I was born and raised on a farm in Northern NJ (we had everything except cows & pigs!), and have lived in SoCal now for 40 years. I worked in the technology market segment for 30 years and am now starting a new chapter in my book of life :*) I am an animal lover (well, except for snakes) that has lived in Dana Point for the past 25 years. My experience with dogs includes many breeds as well as being a dog "mom" to 2 rescued Jack Russell Terriers- yes, the bouncy, very high energy, smart and mischievous dogs. I now have a 3-year old Shih Tzu, Coco, who loves every single person, dog or cat, and enjoys having company! I have been helping many of my neighbors with walking, feeding, playing, or boarding their dogs over the years (this includes belly rubs) and welcome the opportunity to help you in caring for your dogs!
