Hello! I'm a 35 year old, happily married, working professional who happens to love animals. I've lived in Oregon, Colorado, Arkansas, and am now happily settled in Arlington with my husband and 2 adorable Yorkie mixes adopted from the Humane Rescue Alliance. I've grown up with dogs my entire life, and learned from an early age what it means to care for, appreciate, and show compassion towards all animals. I have experience with a wide-range of breeds, including Dalmatians, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Poodles, Schnauzers, Shih tzus, Yorkshire terriers, Papillions, and mixed breeds (large and small) among many others. Each dog has its own unique personality, and it's always fun to uncover and cultivate that as time goes on! My own pups adore long walks, so I'm comfortable with leash etiquette, encounters with other dogs, and waste clean-up; I always exercise vigilance when it comes to my surroundings and potential hazards to the dogs and myself. Overall, I am well versed in all facets of dog and cat care to include administering medicine (oral and shots) for dogs and cats, following specific instructions to the letter, and giving senior dogs and cats extra TLC. I'm constantly referred to as reliable, friendly, trustworthy, and with a hefty dose of common sense! Whether stopping by for a walk and play-time or staying for an extended visit, I'll treat your pets like I treat my own--as family. I've been WFH during the pandemic which provides more flexibility for walks and check-ins during the day. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!
