PACK MEMBERS
Sara
Background:
I grew up in Houston, went to school in Lubbock, and landed in Dallas. I have lived in Old Lake Highlands for five years now and love it! I have worked in advertising, business to business marketing, a gluten-free bakery, a chocolate shop, a cajun market, and a pizza shop, among other places - but walking dogs is the best job I've had so far :)
What experience do you have with dogs? Do you have dogs in your home?
My family includes Roo, a blue heeler/border collie mix, and Max, a street rat from Dowdy Ferry who is a chow/husky/mystery! I have had dogs all my life, and at any house party you will find me hanging out with the dog.
Do you have any other pets or animal experience?
I have been with OOTK since May 2015. I started as a walker, and am proud to say I am now co-owner!
What are your other hobbies/interests?
In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering with the elderly at Brookdale Lake Highlands. Those people really know their trivia! Additionally, I am addicted to estate sales and unusual antiques.
What is your favorite dog-friendly spot in Dallas?
My husband and I enjoy walking the dogs in OLH and at White Rock Lake.
What is your all-time favorite dog movie?
