I'm a smiley, peaceful, easy going, and friendly person. Perhaps for those reasons, animals often take to me immediately. I communicate openly, honestly, and kindly with all beings I encounter, people and animals included. I'm an avid walker and tracker of steps (often walking close to 10 miles a day), and I'd love to have your dog accompany me for as few or as many steps as meets their needs. I believe in being kind whenever possible, and that it is always possible. I promise to take amazing care of your furry family member as if they were my own. I'm very educated, with three graduate degrees: a Juris Doctorate and masters in Philosophy and Psychology, so I'm certain that your dog and I will have excellent conversations :-) I take all work that I do seriously, and this job is no exception. I have experience with dogs from all walks of life, big and small, young and old, mentally stable and anxious, hearing and deaf. You can count on me to bring common sense and calm assertiveness to any issue that might arise, and to take any specific instructions you give me seriously. I know that trusting anyone else with your dog's care can be ruff. If you paws to consider my qualifications, however, I think you'll find that I'm the purr-fect (just kidding, no cat puns allowed here!) candidate for the job! I am 100% LGBTQQIP2SAA+ friendly.
