I have cared for a variety of pets my whole life. I enjoy everything dogs bring to the whole family. From a young age I babysat and dog sat for family and friends. I am conscientious about animal needs and love positive relationship building. I am a retired educator, mother and grandmother who believes our children should learn about proper care and TLC for our dogs. I currently volunteer as a dog-walker, kitty and puppy socializer with the Monterey County SPCA. I also go into classrooms in the Paws to Read program. I bring a dog/puppy each week to read with kids.
