About: I am a registered nurse so I only work 3 days a week. I grew up with animals, I attended training classes and one point we had 3 dogs living in our home at once. I grew up with a Laborador Retreiever, a mini Shnauzer Poodle mix and a hound mix, so I have had experience caring for each type of dog and any accommodations they may require. I eventually want a dog of my own but I am unable to at this moment in my life. My goal is to help people give their dogs the best life they can lead. Life gets busy and one of the greatest joys in our lives are our furry best friends and I want to help you give them the life they deserve.
About: I’ve lived and worked with both dogs (all sizes) and cats since a young age. Friends and relatives have trusted me to care for their animals on a wide scale from dog walking to in-home stays. Additionally, I have spent time volunteering in animal shelters including fostering dogs from a few days to multiple month long stays working with them to find their forever homes! I am currently working part-time so I have ample time during the day to check-in on pets, take dogs on long walks, and any other care you’re looking for! I have experience with general dog training and crating if needed. I’ve worked with dogs that have a range of needs and am open to following whatever routine you normally follow with your pet!
