Hey there, I'm Christine! I grew up in New York, and I am in college to become a psychologist. Since I was young I had many animals, even a duck. I got my first dog when I was 9. His name was Jay Jay and he was a Pekingese. Now I have another dog named Ellie. She is a mixed Yorkie. I have experience with dogs all sizes, from a small Yorkie to a full grown pit bull. I like to stay fit and in shape. I love dogs, I love meeting new dogs, and I love walking, because I find it therapeutic and relaxing. I would love to work with animals all of the time. I feel like spending time outside walking around getting fresh air with the company of a dog that's always excited to see me would be the best step. I would love to help keep your pet happy and healthy.
Growing up I always had a love for dogs. I had one pitbull and her name was Tempa. I had grown a strong attachment towards her and always gave her the love and attention she needed (just like every dog needs). Because of my love for dogs, I had offered to help my girlfriend's grandmother's three dogs because she was not able to do it on her own. She had three great pitbulls as well. Their names were Nala, Tazz, and George. I was responsible for feeding, walking, ans watching them to make sure they had the care they needed. Of course I grew attached to all of them because they had reminded me of my own childhood best friend, Tempa. I have decided to be a Wag! walker to turn my love of dogs into a career, and to make sure all dogs get the love and attention they deserve.
