The first dog came into my life when I was six months old. Ever since then I have treasured the loyal companionship of several dogs that have enriched my life tremendously. It doesn't matter the breed or gender or size, I am drawn to the unique characteristic that gives the dog its charm. I've had the pleasure of watching several pets while their owners have been out of town. From Golden Retrievers to Shih Tzus, I've enjoyed providing the variety of care that was needed for each dog. I also spent a year working at a veterinary hospital, and my time there has greatly expanded my knowledge of the canine world. Dogs are one of my many passions in life, and I look forward to using that passion to help care for one of our favorite furry friends.
