I grew up with Friends who always had dogs. I spent most of my early childhood begging for a dog and finally got one at 14. Being a fair mom it has been such a joy, and when I left home at 18 and joined the Army, my for babies were are my pride and joy. I got into the hobby of service dog training while I was in the military, and I have a lot of experience being around different dogs of all sizes and breeds. One of my dogs had a severe protein allergy, so I am also well versed in food sensitivities, attention to detail, and medication administration. I’m a neuroscience student, who tends bar in the evenings, both near the loop. My schedule before midday is very consistent, and I know my restaurant schedule about a week in advance to accommodate being home for your fur kid(s). In my free time I enjoy training for races (currently training for a half marathon), and volunteering my time to give back to the community. I lead an active lifestyle, and enjoy going on new adventures. I live in a one bedroom condo, with a good amount of space, in a very quiet building in close proximity to a dog park. I am surrounded by a safe, dog friendly neighborhood with many yards and new smells for your fur babies!
