About: I’ve had dogs all my life and love animals. I’m a Towson University graduate who works remotely. I have tons of experience training and taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have an almost 2 year old Bernese Mountain Dog named Forrest. I have raised and trained a 16 year old Maltese and almost 3 year old Dachshund mix that now lives with my parents. I have also helped care for my boyfriend’s parents’ elderly English Mastiff before he passed, as well as helped raise and train two English Mastiffs that are now 3 and 4 and a German Shepherd that is now almost 6. I enjoy walks and jogs in case you have a bigger dog in need of more intense exercise, and we have 1.4 acres of fenced backyard for dogs that are boarded in our home. I love cats too! I lived with 2 cats for about a year in college. I took care of them, taught them tricks, and gave them cuddles every day and I miss them so much!!! My boyfriend and I currently work remotely, so I typically have plenty of time for quick dog breaks. My dog is crate trained and I prefer crate trained dogs if boarding. I would just need a set of basic rules, such as if the pets are allowed on furniture, anything to specifically avoid or keep an eye on, and whatever other information is needed such as food allergies/food sensitivities. I am able to go for walks and/or runs and love to train so may ask for you to bring your pet’s favorite treats. I prefer crate trained dogs when boarding in my home.
