Along with babysitting an amazing family for almost a year I was almost entrusted to tend to the family dog poncho. On a regular day I was responsible for taking him on at least 2 walks, cleaning up after him, feeding him, and taking him to the groomers once every 2 weeks.

I have dog sat for several close family friends throughout my life! I love being with dogs, as well as kids. I grew up with two dogs and now have three cats (no dogs due to lack of backyard). I also have a personal goal to move my body more & dog walking sounds like the perfect way to do that.
