About: I’ve owned different breed’s throughout my life and have had puppies grow up to live long, healthy lives! I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of small and large dogs with hip displacia, blindness, cancer and other special needs. I’m also a huge health nut, so I’m always researching nutrition topics and things that may benefit the doggies I get to meet! I have an early job in the morning so I’ll be available for very early visits and I’ll be out of work at 1:30pm so I can spend the rest of the of the day and weekends taking care of my fur friends. I’ll keep and eye on them, make sure there is nothing around or anything they can get into to get hurt. On outside walks they always be on a leash and we will avoid big highways.
“Grace is the absolute best!! We have a whole farm here and she handles them all excellently. Even our one dog who doesn't particularly love anyone but Mom and Dad cannot get enough of Grace.”
