I'm a super energetic, optimistic human who loves animals - especially dogs. I have 4 cats and a pug (Henry) who continue to teach me how to be the best human I can be. I'm incredibly patient, caring and I like to have a lot of fun. My pug is one of my top priorities - I bought our current house because it was closer to the dog park than our other one. I typically have treats on hand (but never offer them to dogs without their human's permission), I respect our communities (I'll never leave a mess in someone's tree pit or public space), and I'm extremely reliable (I'll show up on time and be present to do a great job). I have volunteer experience with BARCS - I've walked and cared for dogs recovering from surgery and/or illness, dogs that are both large and small, dogs that are not well trained and dogs that spend a lot of time in their kennel.
