I've been taking care of dogs ever since I was 12 when my family adopted their first dog, Cotton, a mini poodle we adopted from a local shelter. I have always had a strong passion for caring for animals with the best and most exceptional care and treatment possible. Friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs because they know that I love their pets like my own. Dogs are such special and amazing animals who are extraordinarily intelligent, attuned, and sensitive, and part of what makes my care unique is I recognize that every dog is an individual with their own personality, likes/dislikes, and preferences. My care will be tailored to your own dog and their individualized needs so you can feel safe and secure knowing that your dog is in the best of hands. I have experience training puppies and helping young dogs gain skills that will make them a happy, healthy, and well-balanced adult dog. Recently, I adopted my own cockapoo puppy, Ginger, who is now nearly 10 months old. She is an amazing dog who I am planning on eventually certifying to be a therapy dog so she can help me in my career job as a mental health counselor to provide comfort and solace to my clients.
