I've been around dogs my entire life and love their energy and personalities. I'm good at being stern with dogs, but never yell or punish animals. I have a very flexible schedule. I'm not afraid of large dogs or of dogs who are skittish and may bite. I'm patient and calm around every dog. I like taking dogs to dog parks, on walks, throwing balls for them, and playing with them in general I am an upbeat person who enjoys helping others and have been an animal lover my entire life. I've been around shy, hyper, and temperamental dogs of all ages and sizes. Overall, I enjoy being around dogs and would love to help others provide a safe and caring environment for their dog while they are away.
