I have been a dog lover ever since I can remember. Growing up some dogs has made me comfortable and knowledagble of what a dog needs to be happy. I have taken care of my dog, a standard poodle, for 12 years. I have experience taking care of friends' dogs for extended periods of time and for daily check-ins. I am an active person, so I like to take dogs on runs, hikes, and to play at the dog park. I understand the importance of safety when taking dogs outside, especially in public spaces. I currently live with two dogs and I understand the importance of using familiar commands with dogs so the dogs know how to respond. I'm always excited to meet a new dog and help out!
