Hello, I'm Alicia! I am an outdoor enthusiast and that directly transfers to the dogs I care for. Walks and runs are a daily activity for me year round: and that is so important for our fur-babies, especially in the winter dreary months. I am a sucker for dog comfort and play My place has 6 dog beds *(including the coach and bed), and too many toys and treat machines to count. in addition to small dogs ... I am comfortable with XXL size dogs- my experience has me strong enough to handle them, but also have enough pack leadership to stay in control. Background: I grew up with rescue dogs, so I dealt with the need for training and care, but also with the need for love and play! I currently have a beautiful German Shepherd who has gone through her rehabilitation and now loves nothing more than belly rubs, peanut butter kongs and her daily run. What your dog will get from me: Exercise: Daily outdoor exercise in the morning and at night, as well as potty breaks.Also willing to take the to the dog park or hiking trails if you agree :) Play: Playtime with dog games and toys. (have lots of mental games, squeaky toys and balls) Care: Dog hair brushes are a'plenty here - due to my GSD. Brushing is lethargic for the dog and myself so light grooming is included! Leadership- I have trained many rescue's and can provide that same leadership and support to your dog. Best Alicia
