As a kid, I had two wishes: 1) That a golden retriever would fall from the sky into my arms to love and care for. 2) To have 10 dogs as a grown up. I remember my elation when my parents brought home our first dog, Beatrice, the boxer puppy (turns out the breed did not matter to me). Since childhood I have become a little more realistic and fully appreciate the responsibility of one (let alone 10) dogs. I happily give all of the love I can to the dogs I am fortunate enough to care for. My experience: I am an attentive, non-smoking, trustworthy professional with 15+ years of experience caring for animals, dogs specifically. I especially enjoy caring for senior and special needs dogs. I have experience caring for dogs with amutations, back injuries, loss of bladder/bowel control, loss of hearing, and serious illnesses. I volunteered at a pet shelter in college which lead me to fostering dogs while obtaining my bachelors in Biology. I take animal health and saftey very seriously. I am certified in dog and cat first aid through the American Red Cross, am knowledgeable regarding foods and plants toxic to dogs. Additionally, spent time working and training at a local dog daycare where I learned the tendencies and needs of different dog breeds. My location: I will travel to your location to care for your pet. I am also close to the Detroit River Walk for easy access to safe, long walks full lots of sniffing and investigating! I will be sure to take a cute photo of your dog to show you all the fun they are having. Every dog is unique with a special personality and caring for them brings me so much joy! I hope to care for yours soon!
