I am an equestrian, and love all animals - I also have substantial experience with animal care, as I have had pets all my life and also primarily (when not in CT) live on a farm. For my past 17 years of dog/pet caring experience, I have had several dogs, all ranging in size, breed, and temperament. We currently have two very active dogs. If you would like I am happy to take your dog on long walks, runs, or explore in the local parks/nature preserves. Should you wish, I am happy to teach your dog(s) new tricks. That being said, I am equally happy to just chill out with your dog if they are a couch potato! When you're away I will send many pictures and updates (if you wish) - you can be assured your best friend is in great hands.
