**Covid-19 update: I am free of covid symptoms. I wear a mask, sanitize & wash my hands thoroughly so that you can feel safe having me in your home. If I ever exhibit symptoms and we have an appointment you will be the first to know so that we can find an appropriate replacement animal caretaker so that you can do what you have planned.** I'm a high energy, positive and enthusiastic animal person. I have experience dealing with all breeds, ages & temperaments in a variety of setting a. I want to have FUN with your dog or any other animals you want me to work with! I have 20+ years experience living and working with rescue and rehabilitated animals, including (but not at all limited to) dogs. My entire life has been dedicated to developing an emotional, mental, and physical understanding of the needs of our sister species. Spending time with animals is so old-hat for me that I'm not surprised by most things, but I am very attentive to animals and will see that their unique needs are met. I want everyone to have a good experience together and will work as a facilitator for positive vibes. I am familiar and comfortable working with dogs who need to be indulged through ample amounts of attention and lots of exercise, but if your dog is more the lay-down-and-chill type I am also more than thrilled to sit down and watch the clouds blow by. I am happy to run or walk your dog, assuming they are leash trained. I'd also find joy in taking them to our local dog park or playing with them indoors or out in your yard. I am equipped for all kinds of weather, and trust me when I say that I am confident that I can towel-dry wet dogs if we end-up getting poured on. I am a true Washingtonian and know that your animals needs do not stop because a storm is approaching or the rain is pouring. I've got this!
