I've always had a dog as a pet since for as long as I can remember. I've helped raise two of the dogs my family have had. One had a lot of health problems so I'm very familiar with taking care of dogs who need extra attention. I'm always attentive to the needs of pets I take care of. I'm always open to communication, and when I don't understand something I will always clarify to make sure I am on the same page. Every dog has their own unique needs and I want to make sure I am providing the care they need. I have classes in the evening so morning and afternoon are the times I am available. I like to take dogs on walks to get them some exercise, but also so they can have their own bathroom breaks. If I am stopping in at their home to check-in I always make sure they get a walk, a bathroom break, and some play time in if they've got some extra energy to spare. When I'm out and about dogs love to approach me and to say hello!
