Since childhood I have loved animals, especially dogs! I used to adopt neighborhood stray cats, and give them names. I had pet lizards and a dog named "Rocky". I raised two children to adulthood, and we always had cats, and our "Buddy" a Golden Retriever, who we had to lay to rest in 2016. Dogs are truly heaven sent, each one has their own unique personality. I love getting to know each dog, and adjusting my style to make the dog happy and comfortable in my home, or yours. If they love walks, we will go on many walks. If they love to play ball, we will play ball. If they want to cuddle, they'll get lots of love and cuddling. My specialty is caring for dogs with special needs, like PTSD and anxiety issues. One of my regular clients rescued a dog from abuse and she requires a calm environment, medication (she doesn't always have to take Xanax when in my care), and a lot of exercise. For years they could not find a dog sitter to handle her, until they found me. I don't discriminate against any breed or gender. I'll take care of your loved one as if they were my own.
