I promise to love your dog as much as you do, and to give him/her plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and treats! I'm a lifelong dog owner with broad experience with many breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I hail from a long line of dog lovers, and happy to provide references upon request. I'm a single, responsible, dependable professional with a Master's degree, and have studied Animal Behavior and Animal Psychology. I recently lost my own dog (15 year old German Shepherd mix), and getting involved in dog sitting and walking has helped me fill this void. My friends and family often refer to me as a "dog whisperer." Currently I have an extremely flexible, open schedule (including nights, weekends)- I'm also available on short notice. My unconditional love and passion for dogs (and all animals) is indescribable, and this passion and enthusiasm seems to grow more and more by the day. I have spent my entire life around dogs, have owned/cared for many of them. I possess a natural ability to "instantly connect" with new dogs, and I'm able to quickly and confidently earn their trust, love, and friendship. I can honestly say that the only time I'm truly happy is when I'm around dogs- and I would love to meet yours! I also have experience with cats and other pets. Thank you for considering my profile, it would be a privilege to work with you and your four-legged friend!
