I'm a chill, animal-loving dude who is in full time grad school. I am switching to internship soon which means I needed to quit my job as a youth case manager. What this means is I wanted to fill my free time with the best ever-- animals! I am careful/considerate. Love taking pups on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I am attentive to animal needs. I'm friendly, easy-going, and flexible. Fairly self-educated about dog behavior and from learned experience with my beloved family dog and friends' pups. Also have lots (20+ years) of experience with cats, and some basic knowledge of insect/reptile care. Would enjoy a weekly gig where the dog and I can get to know each other and develop rapport. I am firm and loving-- good leash behavior expected! Or else we will work on it. :). Pictured are the beautiful dogs of my friends: Loki, Thor, Riley, and Pippin! And my cat Tarantino.
