I love animals! I've had dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of other critters my whole life. I’ve raised cats and dogs from puppy/kitten through fully geriatric. I have been dog/pet/farm sitting since I was a teenager in Virginia, as well as throughout my adult life in Seattle, before recently relocating back to Virginia. I've worked professionally with large animals for twenty years and am no stranger to the unique joys and challenges that accompany daily life with animals. I have my own dogs, a shy but sweet and energetic Aussie, Abby, and an aussie/golden mix, Puck, who loves his canine brethren as much as I do. I am calm, confident, and compassionate with animals, from easy-going to more hands-on. At home, we like to relax and take it easy. My dogs and I are especially fond of long walks and playing outside and would love to share our adventures with your dog, too.
