“Mature. Caring. Energetic. Doggo Lover.”

Hi fellow dog lovers! I'm a mature 20-something living in Lincoln Park and enjoying life to the fullest. I work part-time in hospitality/marketing/events and knew I’d enjoy spending my free time walking, playing and hanging with your pooch. I LOVE dogs, have grown up with doggos my whole life, and will be the first person to say yes to dog sitting or boarding (just ask my friends if you want recs)! I live in the garden unit of a spacious and sunny townhome. Can’t wait to meet your best friend :)
