Sarah Kocsis has loved dogs for as long as she can remember.

 

"I'm a vegetarian, animals are a passion of mine, she explains.

 

So after graduating college and having a slew of jobs, she knew she wanted something more in line with her passion. A year and half ago Kocsis started her own business, Downtown Dog Walking.

 

"I put in my two weeks notice but (my old job) let me go right away. It really lit a fire under me."

 

Now, she's a full time walker, and says it's her dream job. Plus she's gotten to know the city she's grown up in, even better.

 

"I love walking around these (historic) neighborhoods and looking at these houses, they're beautiful!" She says.
