Hi there! I am 21 years old. I have grown up with golden retrievers in my home since I was 5 years old. I love having a companion who I can snuggle with, play with, listen to and trust me. I love ALL dogs. I am interested in getting to know each dog in their own way. I will be sweet, patient, and understanding of your dog and you. My family's first golden retriever passed away from cancer at 10 years old, which was hard on my whole family. A dog really becomes an integral part of your family. We now have another golden named Copper (he's in my profile picture). I love Copper with my whole heart. I enjoy taking him on walks, snuggling, hiking by the river and in the mountains, and chillin on our back porch. I have experience in dog sitting at friends houses over the years when they go out of town and they are able to trust that I will take good care of their furry family member.
