About the caregiver

I'm Julio, aloha!I've been surrounded by dogs all my life. As a baby in California, there was Barbara, a Terrier/Lab mix. Growing up in Maine, there was (in this order): Katie, Abigail, and Tabitha. My chores included feeding, walking, and cleaning up after them. All three were German Shepherds, a breed that my parents were and still are big fans of today. And, at my grandparents there was Bear and Kizzy, both a mix of Shitzu and Yorkshire Terrier.In my first apartment away from home, I lived with roommates who had a Boxer named Miranda. I enjoyed walking and spending time with her whenever I could until I moved.Consequently, all of these dogs were just a warmup for a Boxer named Emmy. A total sweetheart, I like to say she was my first love. She belonged to a friend who worked nearby. He was busy with his new job and I had nothing but free time so I ended up dog-sitting her as much as possible and absolutely loved every minute of it.Now I live in Hawaii and I would like to have these furry friends back in my life! I don't currently live in a place that allows dogs so I like to pay a visit to the Hawaii Humane Society when I can.I'm an avid runner, high energy, and like to stay very active. I believe exercise is good for dogs just as it is for humans! In the Chinese zodiac, I was born in a Year of the Dog (1982) and like dogs, I too like to think I'm fiercely loyal, trustworthy, and dependable.I look forward to taking good care of your furry best friend!Mahalo!
