About: I am a dog mom of two rescues and foster mom for medium sized dogs. My dogs are my babies and I love them like family.

I currently have summers off and have day time (7am - 3pm) availability most weekdays and can help on weekends as long as I have advanced notice. I have a fenced yard and my dogs are very social and sweet. I’m also happy to come let your pet out either to play in the yard or go for a walk to break up their day alone.
