I am extremely affectionate and patient with dogs. I love to get them out for a walk or cuddle with the smaller dogs. I am dedicated to forming a special bond with dogs as well as maintaining their normal routines in your home to minimize their separation anxiety. I have been doing overnights in the homes of clients for years and can provide excellent local references. I am trusted by my families who are then able to fully enjoy their time away without their beloved canine family member(s). Families return to find their dogs are calm and happy instead of being stressed and anxious because their family has been away. All the animals compete for my attention and I am enjoy spreading the love to each of them so that they all feel very special and loved. If I have a single pet they get 100% focused, loving attention which is what they seem to enjoy the most. I also give space to dogs until they learn to love and trust me so nothing is forced. I have always had animals warm up to me very quickly as they sense my genuine affection for them. I do become very childlike with animals because they love so unconditionally that it's just natural for me to get on the floor and play or let them snuggle up with me on the couch. If they sleep with their parents, then they will sleep with me too. I love these precious babies!
