Lynne – Uptown

My name is Marilyn, but I go by my nickname Lynne because I am named after my mother 🙂 I am a native New Yorker, but I also lived in Florida for a few years for both college and work. While growing up, I was always surrounded by the dogs in my family, and outside of my family’s pups, I also helped friends take care of their fur kids, too.  I am now a recently retired Special Education Teacher who worked in East Harlem for 27 years with special needs students of all ages. I am eager and excited to do something different after my long teaching career, and because I was able to retire at a relatively young age, I would like to stay active – and dog walking fits in perfectly with my active lifestyle!

Outside of caring for our four-legged friends, I also enjoy doing yoga, walking and swimming. Outside of staying active, I also really love spending the day at museums or exploring new places — which NYC has plenty of both!

Now that I am retired, I have a lot of time on my hands, and I figured why not use that time to love on new furry friends that I can explore our great city with?  As a true animal lover, I am very much looking forward to this new chapter with RuffCity and caring for your pets as if they were my own 🙂
