Simply put, I love dogs. I think of dogs as people with personalities and different needs. I'm familiar with the Portland area and have frequented many of the dog parks around the city. I am a student at PSU and my schedule is fairly flexible allowing me the time needed to properly care for your dog. I am an avid hiker and believe that a hike taken without a dog is a wasted hike. In addition, I have a fenced backyard and a reliable car that is great for transporting any size dog. I pay attention to dogs health and attitudes and am intuitive when it comes to animals. I am reliable, responsible and look forward to meeting you and your pup.
