About: I have been raised with dogs my entire life. I have cared for my own dogs, as well as friend and family's dogs. Growing up we had many dogs in our home, small to large, puppies to elderly, and have cared for them. I also have 4 dogs of my own and we have had 3 litters of AKC purebred puppies. I am most available for boarding as I do work during the day on weekdays but we are happy to have dogs come and have someone to let them out frequently during the day until I get home if needed. We do have lots of baseball games for our 3 boys so will need to pop in and out at times. Otherwise I am available for boarding most days of the week, unless out of town for activities for our 3 boys.

About: A fun fact about me is that I’ve had 5 doberman pinchers in my life, I’m great with big and small dogs and I was always the person my neighbors would call when they needed someone to check in on their pets. Having 5 doberman I have learned helpful ways to train and take care of pets, i believe our pets should be treated like humans. Meaning their food should be nutritionally safe and they should be given the right amount of exercise depending on the breed. Im a college student with a part time job and lots of free time between classes and during the evenings. This is my first year living away from my family, including my dog named Ellie. So I would love to be able to help someone with their pet(s) while I am away from mine! My parents have a 3 year old doberman pincher at home, while they leave early in the mornings for work I am the one responsible for taking care of our furry family member. In the morning i start by making sure her collar is on and then taking her outside, once I’ve seen her go potty it’s time for breakfast. After she eats we play frisbee (her favorite) until she’s tired and ready to go inside. I usually go to work or school by 12:30 so before I leave I make sure she’s gone outside again and had her lunch. I always feel bad for leaving her alone so I turn on a carton for her while everyone is gone. On the days I am home we always go for a walk around the block to burn some of that energy.
