About: I cannot remember a time that I was not a dog lover, care-taker, trainer, helper, owner, companion, ect. I have a special affinity for the way a dog will be so loving & loyal no matter the circumstance. I currently have a very flexible part-time position that provides me ample time to care for fur-babies! I do have a family to consider so my availability will need flexibility at times but I look forward to providing the care needed. I do have a fenced in yard as well as a 2 year old skye terrier myself providing the space and companionship needed. I also have a car that will allow me to commute to a clients home as needed.
