About Blue Basset
After college, I did what many humanities graduates do: picked up a summer job as a dog-walker. With a few exceptions, I've pretty much been doing it ever since. As career pet-sitter, I have cared for every type of wonderful pet for 20 years and counting.
In the Summer of 2018, I relocated from Virginia to Maryland with the goal of running a doggy daycare and boarding business out of a cozy cottage on few small plots of land. Soon enough, my little dog hotel was full of wagging tails.
Then, the COVID pandemic struck and tethered people to their homes full-time, rendering the need for pet-sitting almost nonexistent overnight. Fortunately, I landed a dreamy part-time job at locally legendary Shortcake Bakery in Hyattsville, MD. It was this magical place that my idea to make handmade treats for the dogs I loved and missed so much was born.
After much absurd trial and error, baking disasters and ugly creations, what became my signature cookies made their debut at a local farmers market in the Spring of 2021, and they were a hit!
