I grew up with multiple family dogs - golden retrievers, labs, mastiffs - all big ol’ four pawed loveys! I’ve worked in early childhood education and used to own a daycare for years, and I’d always say, “You can’t fake it with puppies and babies; they know who likes them and who doesn’t!” And I DO love the pups! I have a great respect for pets, their space, and individual personalities. I take pride in being a reliable, caring, fun human they can count on. And I’m happy to be a dependable person their owners can trust. While working with kids, I’ve taught many children how to interact and engage with dogs. It’s helped me become even more in tune with dogs’ personalities and moods. I’m proud of how quickly dogs usually take to me and can tell I’m there to be their buddy! I have experience giving meds, being with senior dogs, and also visiting and house sitting cats and rabbits.
