I'm a grad student at Pitt who has been a lifelong dog lover. Moving away from my dog and my family has led me to want to care for other family's dogs! I'm a patient dog walker (a dog's gotta sniff!) and a great cuddler (I'm known to give up more than half of the bed to 17-pound dog). I've had a dachshund nearly all my life so I know what it's like to care for a finicky breed. I know how particular or quirky a dog can be and how important it is to follow routine. I live just minutes away from Highland Park. I can bring your pup on a nice, shady walk through the park, or to a different location if they're more comfortable avoiding other animals. We can play, snack, or do any other activity that will help reduce the stress of you being gone. Added bonus: If your dog likes to play frisbee, I'm your gal. I play Ultimate Frisbee and have a few discs that I wouldn't mind getting slobbered :)
