I have owned dogs for most of my life; about three years ago, my husband and I adopted an adorable rescue mutt named Rita. As a puppy, she was particularly intimidated by strangers - she would bark aggressively, and initially would not let a new dog walker anywhere near her. I learned to be very comfortable helping her adjust to new people, and help her to be happy and at ease in new and different situations. I love meeting + caring for all dogs, especially enjoying walks through the neighborhood, exploring the many parks and trails the Glen Canyon area has to offer. I am also comfortable caring for puppies and elderly pups. I work from home during the week and have a flexible schedule, particularly in the mornings and early afternoon.
