I grew up in a household of many dogs. We had rescue dogs and purebreds. We bred Beagles and Cattle Dogs as well, so I have a lot of experience caring for a variety of puppy/adult needs. I have often been asked to care for, walk and/or board my friend's pets and realized it is something that I would like to spend more time doing. My career in management has allowed me the opportunity to work from home and take some time to enjoy the things I love. I also worked a number of years in the early childhood space, where I cultivated a passion for structured, loving and compassionate environments. When working with pets, I love to play (as a fitness/wellness enthusiast, I have a lot of energy), show them lots of affection, and care for their well-being. Caring for dogs allows me to fine-tune my awareness, since communication with them does not rely on language. They also just bring me loads of JOY! It is a great pleasure to be able to provide dog owners with the reassurance that their dog is being properly cared for and loved.
