I've been a dog-lover since I was a toddler, and always had a dog and cat in my home. I always enjoyed brushing my dog, walking her, bathing her, playing with her outside, and even occasionally baked/made homemade dog treats! I love to play with dogs, and I understand how they behave and communicate. I still do those things with my own dog, Togo. She is DEFINITELY my fur-baby, and I take very good care of her! As a substitute teacher, my days are usually full. But once I get home, I am eager to get back outdoors again with my dog, or another dog in tow. Therefore, my hours are usually very early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and occasionally in the early evening, during the week. On weekends, of course, I'm much more flexible! You can count on me to provide your fur-baby with the same love and attention as I give to my own. In addition, I will ensure that your dog will have his/her paws CLEAN upon return! I understand there's nothing worse than dirty paw marks all over the place. And if your dog becomes dirty in any other way, I promise to clean your dog and any mess they make upon return, as well.
