I am a huge dog lover and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend! Besides growing up with dogs my entire life, I raised a guide dog for the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind during undergrad at the University of Georgia, who is now a working guide dog, so I have a deep understanding of dog behavior. When I returned to UGA for grad school, I decided to raise another golden retriever for the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind; however, working life was not for her because she developed epilepsy, and I have since adopted her. I have experience with dogs with special needs, including epilepsy. I have cared for many different breeds, including Chihuahuas, English Setters, golden retrievers, Australian shepherds, and many more. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. I can provide help with basic obedience. I work for a local nonprofit and have very flexible hours working from home. My goal is to keep your dog on his/her normal routine so that they are as comfortable and happy as can be. Whether your dog has the energy of the energizer bunny or prefers a more mellow scene, I can accommodate both. I also volunteer for Canine CellMates, a local Atlanta-based nonprofit that rescues shelter dogs that are then trained inside Fulton County Jail. I'm the Fundraising Team Lead and helped walk the dogs all summer during the COVID-19 pandemic. I'm available during the week and weekend. I'm happy to give medicine as needed.
