I love dogs! I have been around them my entire life. They definitely make life better, and I know that if I couldn't bring them with me, I'd want them to be staying comfortably with a reliable and trustworthy person while I was gone. I want to be that person for you, and I hope you'll give me the chance to spend some time with your awesome dog! A little about my history with dogs: I was daddy to a lovable, fluffy little Bichon Frise named Snowflake for more than 15 years, until she crossed the rainbow bridge in April 2016. As a senior, Snowflake needed special care: daily medication dispensing, frequent trips outside and help getting around when her mobility began to deteriorate. Loving a senior dog is easy, but it also takes a lot of patience and dedication. I also have a toy poodle named Boo Boo, a rescue. Since he came home in 2009, I have been dedicated to rehabilitating him through socialization, positive reinforcement and a whole lot of love. He's still a bit skittish, but I've earned his trust and affection over time. Getting him to emerge from under the kitchen table is one of my biggest achievements. My experience with Snowflake and Boo Boo has taught me a lot about dog care and behavior, which I hope to apply to caring for your beloved family member.
