I have been with dogs for my entire life (big and small!). I have always loved caring for pups and kitties, when I was in middle school I took over all of the post-surgery care for my dachshund who had slipped a disk in her back. This experience is what made me want to go into the medical field. I am very empathetic and have hours of research and practice on caring for all different types of dogs and issues that dogs may have. I've never met a dog I didn't love or couldn't handle - I am very adaptable and will do everything I can to make each pup comfortable and keep them in their normal routine. I am currently not working! Which, means that I will have all the time in the world to play with your pup; going to parks, going on hikes or long walks, etc. I have two large yards: one is partially fenced and the other is totally fenced. I go on jogs every day and am very happy to take a pup with me! The space inside my apartment is limited but I spend most of my time outside hiking, walking and going to the park with my dog (an 8ib chihuahua mix). My dog is very friendly with other dogs! I live with my boyfriend, I call him the animal whisperer because I've never met an animal that didn't go right up to him. The most important thing for my lifestyle is if your dog will play well with my small dog, (does not apply for walks or short term visits/day care).
