I've loved animals since I was a child and have had my own since I moved away from home. I've had a variety of dogs of different sizes as well as a cat and love them all. My current dog (Scout) is both anxious and incredibly reactive to other dogs and animals on a leash and I have extensive experience managing this in a positive manner (treats, environment management, training, energy expenditure, etc). I enjoy training dogs to do tricks (just for fun!), getting outside for a game of fetch or tug of war, and snuggling. I work remotely, which puts me in the ideal position to stay with your dog during the day or overnight as well as let them out or walk them as often as required. I'd love to hang out with your furry friend during my work day!
