My family has always owned dogs, and they are treated as a member of our family. Big or small, I love them all! I have experience with a wide variety of sizes, breeds and personalities. (Cats too!) But at home I have a year old Mutt named Griffy who is my best bud and also the king of the house. And we just added a new addition, an 8 year old Norwegian Elkhound named Dexter. I work at the local Humane Society during the day, full-time Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. I follow instructions well and realize how important your dogs/cats are to you and your family. I also grew up in the area and have a college education. I am available on both weekdays (mornings & evenings) and weekends. Hope to hear from you! I would love the chance to meet your pet!
