Dogs have always been at the forefront of my life. I’ve always had dogs of my own, and have always been the first to volunteer to take care of someone else’s dogs. I’ve often been told I’m an empath for dogs (not so much for humans😅) because of the way I strive to personally connect with each dog and learn their individual personalities to better understand their feelings and needs. Nothing makes me happier than that big “Thank you” smile you get from a dog that’s having fun and feels loved! I’m currently a full time dog dad, so I’m almost always available to take care of your pups! My life already revolves around caring for my own dogs (2 Goldendoodles), it may as well revolve around your dogs, too! It’s my passion, my job, and my favorite hobby all in one. Communication and reliability are important to me, so I will always be sure to update my availability as needed and communicate quickly with any scheduling questions or changes. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my biggest priorities! I have 2 loving, friendly Goldendoodles who are always available for play dates or to be fellow Sniffari Explorers (walking buddies), but I also understand many pets need 1 on 1 care and attention. You’ll always have the choice for 1 on 1 or social (group) care to accompany your dog’s needs. For drop in visits, I prefer to meet your dog first so we can get acquainted and do a practice run of me coming to the house. Walking routes will be planned for your neighborhood so your pet stays close to home, or we always love a good getaway to the dog park or exploring Santa Fe’s many beautiful trails! I always travel with plenty of water, tennis balls, and chew toys to make sure your dog stays hydrated and entertained, wherever our adventure takes us.
