I'm someone truly understands the dog is (wo)man's best friend. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and continue to find my way back to them. I love showing them as much love and care and bringing as much joy to them as they bring to me. I currently have an 9-year-old lab/shepherd mix that was a "foster fail" who came home with me at 3 weeks old and hasn't looked back since. He was also fully well-trained by me. Professionally, I've interned at a clinic in an animal shelter assisting with kennel/lab cleaning and pre- and post-op care. I worked/managed at a cage free doggy daycare in DC for a few years. There I worked with all sizes, breeds, ages, temperaments and health levels of dogs which included overnight boarding solo with 10-15 dogs. I have experience with tripods, blind, and deaf dogs. I've also been a professional dog walker, walking dogs solo or in packs up to 4. Throughout the years, I've learned lots of patience and completed lots of training to learn to build relationships with dogs to make care and fun easy. Hope to get to know your buddy soon!
