About: I'm a lifelong dog lover who cherishes the unconditional love and companionship these furry friends bring into our lives. I have the pleasure of sharing my home with two wonderful canine companions, a Beagle and a Labmix. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine. With my two dogs living in my secure, fenced home, I have the privilege of being with them around the clock. This allows me to provide constant care, engage in training sessions, and enjoy regular walks with my beloved furry companions. My approach to caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, is tailored to their specific needs. At my place, I have a secure backyard along with a walk-out full basement, offering a safe and comfortable environment. I delight in taking dogs for leisurely walks, tending to their daily needs, and providing dedicated training when required. With two dogs of my own, my home is well-prepared to welcome and accommodate furry guests
