I grew up with two dogs, who were both an integral part of my childhood. I helped care for both dogs from puppyhood to old age. Although both have since passed on, I still love animals, particularly dogs. I am excited about the opportunity to care for your pets. I'm a former collegiate athlete and I am still very active as a long distance runner. I will walk (or run!) your dogs for as long and as often as they desire. However, I'm also patient and excited to work with older or less active dogs. I'm a great communicator and I'm always willing to chat with you about what your pet(s) need from me!
