I am a very empathetic individual and dogs have always been a source of joy for me and my family! I grew up in Tennessee on a small farm type homestead with tons of dogs from Pugs, Dachshunds, Mutts, Wolf Hybrids, to Huskies and Malamutes. We had a plethora of animals-Chickens, birds, fish, rabbits, tons of cats, even a squirrel and a skunk for a bit! I don't claim to be a dog trainer but I know how to assert myself, be calm, and direct in a loving way towards the pets I care for. Dogs are the best therapy in life and truly bring joy on the days that look darkest. That is why this profession is so appealing-connection and exercise! I am a local band leader, artist, teacher and entrepreneur and this is a great way for me to supplement my income while keeping an open schedule for the things that truly motivate me as a human and I would love the opportunity to help car for your animal family.
