I'm a life long dog lover. I grew up with both large and small dogs as family pets and they have provided me with the most joy. I find kinship with dogs, they always lift my spirits, and I reciprocate that positivity with providing the best care to any dog with whom I meet and interact. I strive to understand each dog's personality and needs since each animal is unique. I am an avid outdoors person and love spending time outdoors in all weather, which makes me well suited to walk dogs during the winter months. I bundle myself up and whatever gear the doggo has and needs to wear in the cold and snow, including shoes, coat, harness, etc. I like to check with my clients comfort in having my partner Ariel along to join for the meet and greet because she accompanies me if the stay overlaps with our sporadic time together.
