About: I have lived with and interacted with dogs for most of my life. It started with my family dog when I was 6 years old and currently own a 5 year old dog. I personally trained my dog from when he was 8 weeks old during the pandemic even attending various training classes. Pet care fits into my weekly routine because I have some flexibility during weekdays between 8am - 3pm to come care for your dog or take them on walks. I have my own 5 year old dog I care for daily and want to bring the same level of care for your pet(s). I want to accommodate whatever you or your pet requires to get the tailored attention they need. I know first hand how much our pets mean to us and take caring for yours very seriously.
