About Us

How Nose Prints was born
I was born and raised in New York City. I always had pets but my first job in the pet industry was when I took over a dog-walking job from my old boyfriend that was moving out of state to go to college. Well that first dog-walking job happened to be Rachael Welch and her then husband, Andre’s dog “Chat”. Chat was a sweet Doberman that I fell in love with immediately. I walked her in Central Park twice a day, 7 days a week. Of course doing that, I met a lot of other dog owners. Soon after, I started housesitting for other dog owners. I would either stay at their apartments or they would stay at mine (thanks mom). There was a time when we had about 5 dogs in our apartment (remember, I grew up in NYC on the 8th floor!). I did this throughout high school and most of college. A friend of mine was working at an animal hospital on the upper west side and she knew I was looking for a weekend job while in college so I started working at the front desk on Saturdays and Sundays. 19 years later I have learned so much in the veterinary field.
