I have owned dogs my whole life since I was 8 years old. My past beloved dog, Duke, lived until he was almost 15 years old. He had a stroke towards the end that required round the clock medications and daily physical therapy. This has given me extensive skills in taking care of senior dogs. They hold a special place in my heart and I love to give them the attention they deserve and need. We now have a 6 month puppy named Chili that loves other dogs and making new friends! I’ve trained all of my dogs as well and can continue your training while you're away. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter where they provide trainings on how to improve the emotional experiences of animals by applying key strategies and techniques designed to reduce stressful states. This has given me experience working with all kinds of dogs, from young to old, to small to large breeds. I would love to provide the care that your fur baby needs and give you peace of mind while you're away!
