Hello, My name is Sean, and I am a former dog owner who is passionate about assisting with dog-related matters. I am well-versed in the needs and requirements of dogs. I am available throughout the Bay Area during the weekdays.

Currently a part time babysitter for a 10 month old in Oakland. I have a B.A. in Sociology from UC Santa Cruz and I have worked in office administration as well as care giving over the years. I sing in a cover band and dance tango in my free time!

I have done light house keeping, errand runs and school and activity pick up and drop off.
