“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone else with the care of your pet, your child, but I can assure you I will care for them as if they are my own. I dedicate volunteer hours and fundraising for dogs in need of care and support. I have raised 5 dogs from puppy age and enjoyed every minute. I have basic training skill from attending multiple obedience classes, oral/ophthalmic/injection medication administration and medical condition knowledge as a nurse, as well as basic grooming understanding. I have education in canine CPR and choking maneuvers. I require a meet and greet free of charge prior to working with you and your pet to ensure you and your loved one are comfortable with my care. I practice COVID-19 safety measures at all times and will ensure proper protective and sanitation processes will be conducted when entering your home. I am currently a graduate student looking for supplemental income in an area that has always been my passion: dogs! I am available all days but Tuesdays, which is when I am completing school clinical hours. Even then, if you needed early morning or evening care for your child I could work out a drop-in schedule. As a nurse, I believe it is beneficial for our mental and physical health to practice wellness and exercise, so why would we expect any different for our furry loved ones? I am available to travel to your pet and bring them walking or to a park as there are nearby hiking trails and multiple dogs parks in my area that I frequent often with my own dogs. There is also the option to bring you child back to my home where I have 2 black labradors who are high-energy children and who have been inviting of all dogs who have visited their home. We live on 10 acres off a seldom-traveled dirt road, up on a hill, with a large grassy yard to play on. I am opened to visitation with you and your pet if this makes you more comfortable. I, and my fur babies, are respectful that if your child is not comfortable with other dogs that there is separation for safety reasons.
