I care for pets either from people's homes or with a planned adventure, there may a possibility for me to care from my own home but that would need to be discussed and would require a higher rate. I enjoy being social with dogs and taking them to the dog park but only with already socialized dogs. I have some experience training my own dogs but know that every dog is different. I will not put a dog I'm not confident about in an off-leash environment where the risk of injury or runaway is present. I treat animals with the same respect I give any and all living creatures and know that for many people - they are part of the family. I am an athletic person with higher-than-average stamina for physical interactions. I am also an adventure guide and plan ahead for weather changes, bring lots of water and food and make sure that my poochs, kitties and ponies are well treated.
