Safety, trust & environment

I am used to walking big dogs, so am very good with walking safely on leash. I am vigilant and aware of surroundings on walks. I have a dog friendly apartment but will prioritize the pet being comfortable in their own space by spending time there. I can crate, as well! And have lots of love to give ♥️

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up around Rhodesian Ridgebacks since I was born and have had 4 of them in my life! So, I love dogs of all sizes. I have a long list of experience at volunteer and in-home dog shelters since high school and am frequently relied on to dog sit for friends!
