Professional, patient, fun. I've been around dogs all my life with a couple great dogs growing up.. they really love being the best friend! I'm patient and knowledgeable in training and what motivates: that dogs love (and need) to run and play and please. I also work weekly volunteering with children for 7 years now and know to be gracious with lots of good feedback and praise. I'm a professional engineer who has shifted into an easier gear visiting friends and doing some travelling. I'm loving this to get outside more and meet some great people at the same time. I've thought about getting a pup of my own in this season but being able to care for some great dogs here has been a great fit! Thank you for taking the time to consider me, I'm having fun! If it sounds like a great fit, I'd be happy to help you get away with some peace of mind! Note: I usually work 6 hours during the day (maybe less if I'm wanting to hike and explore, maybe with your pup!), and sometimes have things going on in the evenings. I usually come feed and let them out of the house during dinner. So... If you live outside of town and it's okay to be away all day occasionally, or if you're close to downtown and it's easy to come and check in, ask and I will adjust my rates accordingly if it means less driving.
