I always had a pet dog growing up, and as soon as I bought my own house, I got my own! I've raised my goofy lab mix rescue from a puppy to an adult all on my own, and it's taught me to be very responsible and patient. I understand the exercise / attention all dogs need and deserve, I also understand how much dogs depend on their humans. I would definitely describe myself as a dog lover. I will treat your dog with the same kindness and attention I give my own dog, and give them any additional attention or treatments that they require or you request. Leaving your pet for an extended period of time is very stressful, and I understand that completely. I would like to help, in any way possible, to relieve that stress for you! I work full time as an estimator in the construction field in Rochester. I am available most every evening and most all weekends. For now, I am starting with home visits and dog walks. In the near future, I would like to try dog boarding and day care.
