I'm a teacher with a flexible summer schedule and a big heart for animals. Whether it's walks, belly rubs, playtime, or keeping your pet company while you're away, I'm here to help and make sure they feel loved and cared for. I've been a dog owner for over six years and currently have two German Shepherds, ages 5 and 6, whom I've raised since they were puppies. I've spent countless hours researching dog behavior, training techniques, nutrition, and enrichment to help them grow into happy, well-adjusted companions. And trust me, it has been a challenge! Caring for large, energetic breeds has given me experience with daily walks, playing fetch ALL DAY :) , basic obedience training, administering medications when needed, and understanding canine body language. I am no expert, but I know that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to build trust and provide patient, attentive care. I'll treat your pets with the same love, respect, and attention that I give my own every day.
