I have two beloved rescue dogs of my own, with very different personalities. I am used to both ends of the spectrum: a guard dog who has endless energy and a snuggly pup who just wants to lay around and cuddle. Despite their differences, I love them both equally and could not imagine life without either of them! I have hired dog sitters when I have left on trips myself, so I completely understand how important the right caretaker is. I am confident that your pup(s) will love me immediately upon meeting me. I can read a dog's mood and adjust my actions to suit their individual needs. I am also a high school science teacher, and therefore a very patient, enthusiastic, and professional person.
