I love dogs both for their inherent qualities and for their individual quirks. I can’t help loving the way they’ll tilt their heads to the side, or their adorable bids for love and attention. I'm awed by their energy, protectiveness, and loyalty--and, especially, their playfulness. Honestly, there's nothing better than puppy playtime! Having a dog with me makes the whole world better and brighter, no matter what I’m up to. Growing up with dogs was wonderful. In addition to our family’s pets, I started branching out and caring for the dogs of friends and extended family. I’ve gained experience working with many breeds and dogs of all sizes. They’ve always loved me and felt safe in my presence, and I feel the same way. Dogs appreciate my honesty, my loving nature, and my reliability--and, of course, their humans appreciate those qualities too! Whether I'm hiking, taking a brisk walk around a local park, or meandering along the beachfront, I can bring a dog to all of my favourite activities. If they’re up for it, they can accompany me when I go running, too. Some of my favorite spots around the city are Balboa Park, Mission Bay, Mission Bay Park, Kate Sessions Park, and Torrey Pines. We’ll get lots and lots of playtime wherever we end up! It’s one of my favorite ways to spend my time...and I suspect your dog will feel the same way. I’ll always keep you 100% updated during the entire booking process. I respond to messages promptly, ask lots of questions, and send photos and texts to let you know how we’re doing--and what a wonderful time we’re having. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away. I adore being around my favourite animals every day, and providing owners with the peace of mind that their pooch is in the best care possible. I’m also open to caring for other pets; I have experience with small animals like cats, mice and rats, and I enjoy their company. Just let me know how I can help!
