I've been taking care of dogs, and have been a dog lover, for my entire life. I currently have a dachsund/beagle mix who is very skittish, so I know how to handle anxious dogs. At my home, I have a large fenced yard and plenty of dog toys, and I also live in close proximity to three beaches. It's a lovely place to take dogs for walks, and a great place for them to run and play. I am availiable most weekdays and weekends during the day, from the hours of 12-6. In previous jobs, I've worked in both high-stress environments and I've worked with children, so I have great patience and know how to handle unexpected stressful situations in a calm and controlled manner.
