I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My family always had a dog (or 2 or 3) growing up, so I’ve been fortunate to experience the magic of the canine-human relationship with some stellar pups throughout my entire life thus far. In addition to my love for dogs, I have a comprehensive understanding of their nature, and have been responsible for training several dogs. I have worked as a pet-sitter and dog-walker for many families for more than a decade, and have developed lasting relationships with both the dogs and their owners. I am healthy and capable of walking long distances and controlling multiple dogs at a time, and will do so with enthusiasm, attentiveness, and compassion. I love to be outdoors, and will happily take your dog on "fieldtrips" to the park, beach, mountains, or wherever their favorite playground may be. When I'm not spoiling non-human animals, you can find me treating patients in my acupuncture/herbal medicine practice. I set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets. Plus, I know all the best acupressure spots to rub to help calm & strengthen your pup while we cuddle. I am trustworthy, friendly, and responsible, and will make it easy for others to entrust me with their cherished furry ones.
