I am a dog enthusiast and serial adopter. I adopted my first dog, Cassidy, in college and I fell utterly in love with dogs.  I started working more with dogs when my second dog, Althea, and I volunteered with The Good Dog Foundation at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York.  The importance of pet manners and care took on new relevance when I pivoted careers after Cornell business school and I traveled weekly for a Consulting firm.  

Those who cared for my pets were my heroes. I was leaving my dogs, who are the center of my world, in the hands of others and they had to have my absolute trust.  It was my dream to provide that peace of mind to others.
