Welcoming Dogs of ALL Sizes :)

I have loved & cared for animals my entire life! I have always had dogs myself, including high energy pups. With a Bachelor of Science in Biology, I have experience in fields such as animal behavior, veterinary medical terminiology. Overall, my background provides me with knowledge in preventative healthcare practices, as well as compassion & love towards animals for as long as I can remember. From new born puppies to elderly doggies, I love to help with them all! I can administer medication and feed meals if necessary too. Would love to help you and your pup soon :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from overnight or daily dog-sitting, to typical feeding & walking routines. I'm used to a fenced in yard when letting dogs out to go to the bathroom, but I also have experience taking outside on the leash in apartment complexes, condos, and other living areas. I'm well versed in feeding dogs, and the many different applications owners use. I can ensure paws are wiped clean if need be. One of my pups is an eczema girl, so I can apply creams or moisturizing sticks to sensitive areas and paw pads also - if needed! I have some dog training experience (and will be working to gain more), so I can help enforce specific rules or training tactics that have already been introduced to your pup, in order to help form the habit! With my medical background, I can administer medication. I am comfortable taking dogs for a walk at the beach, the state park, nearby parks/neighborhoods - wherever you feel that your dog will be most comfortable & confident! Inquire directly for additional fees if traveling for a walk is considered.

I am currently available Monday through Sunday most weeks, other than a few upcoming travel dates.
