I am a lifelong animal lover. Dogs, cats, birds, rodents, reptiles.. I've loved and cared for them all! I have a large fenced yard, lots of stamina for long walks, and a house perfectly setup to keep dogs within my sights but separated if necessary. I am a calm, patient person with endless amounts of love to give your fur babies when you can't be there. I have worked in a doggy daycare/boarding facility, I'm experienced in reading dog body language, providing training, administering medications, and easing the anxiety of a stressed dog who misses their mom or dad. I know tricks to get them to eat when they won't and I know how to be firm when necessary without ever forgetting to be loving, gentle, and patient.
