I have loved animals forever and have always had a knack for caring for them. Now that I have established myself at our farm we have enough room for more! I have two medium sized dogs, both “super-mutts” (these were the exact words from the DNA test :) ). Half of our yard is fenced in and we have plans to fence in the entire yard soon. We also take our dogs on daily walks, 1 or 2x a day. We also have a very tame cat, named Alice, she is a gentle giant, and obviously is in charge here. I have experience working for a dog breeder, training her puppies and sitting for her "pack" of up to 15 Papillons, a Shetland Sheepdog, and a Poodle. I learned that each dog is different: requiring a different diet, a different strategy, and a different attitude. I have also sat for a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. I learned that I have a knack for caring for large and intimidating breeds: the owners admitted that he could be a handful because of his excessive leash-pulling and intimidating size. I have taken many college biology and animal science courses that have helped me understand animal behavior and health. Knowing why a dog is behaving a certain way, makes it easier to know how to react. Understanding how an dog's body works makes it easier to know why certain foods or behaviors can be unhealthy. I would love the chance to exercise and care for your pup, so he/she is relaxed and happy when you return from work or vacation. Shadow and Spirit would love the chance to have a playmate and hiking partner too. Contact me and we'll get started!
