I grew up with a loyal and extremely spirited Dalmatian, Gracie, and now the family dog is a goofy and lovable golden doodle, Abbey. I am a true dog lover. Although my lifestyle is not quite amenable to owning a dog yet, I live vicariously through friends, family, and strangers, whose dogs I accost on street corners, in parks, and in breweries on a regular basis :) I am extremely active and energetic and would love to incorporate walking and/or running with a dog into my daily routine. I raised and trained Abbey as a puppy, and am comfortable with high energy animals and all the work that they demand. I also have extensive experience housesitting for friends with dogs and cats, including walking, feeding, overnight stays, and drop-ins. I'm hoping to be of help to dog owners looking for some extra love and attention for their pets and to fill the dog-shaped hole in my life!
