I am detail oriented and am willing to meet the specific needs of your pet's temperament and habits. I have owned a female miniature Australian Shepherd since I was ten, and she was very emotionally needy and required a lot of attention and exercise. She taught me that all dogs have personalities and quirks, and each and every one is unique. When she was diagnosed with epilepsy, I flew back and forth from California to assist my Dad with her medical needs. I know the stress of properly parenting a dog, let alone one who has specific needs and requires medical care. I want your dog to feel at home even if you aren't there, and will do my best to stay on your (and their) schedule.
