Every day, I am greeted with boundless love and appreciation at every client house. My work matters a whole lot to the dogs, who are silly and sensitive...I have a flexible schedule so that I’m able to show up for my child and craft. A LOT…and no, it isn’t great pay, in the grand scheme of things. I’ve traded financial freedom for almost complete job satisfaction, the best mental health of my adult life, and a seemingly endless supply of tail wags and face licks.
