I have lived with at least one dog in the house since I was 12 years old. We always had high energy boxers around as the family dog(s). I would help take care of them including walking, feeding, and playing with them. I have recently adopted a five month old puppy and am training him to be the best dog he can be. I have also dog-sat for family members who were out of town. My goal as a pet owner and dog sitter is to make sure that any animal in my care is as happy and safe as possible. I am constantly looking for ways to improve myself as a pet parent as well as professionally by researching the most effective and efficient methods to taking care of all dogs I am responsible for.
