A Midwest original (Iowa) that has always been an animal lover and has experience pet sitting all types of pets! I recently adopted my own lil' guy - Calvin (so I'd say my puppy skills are very sharp). I treat all dogs like family when they are with me. My motto is where I go, the dog goes! I love adventures and exploring, but also can cuddle up to watch movies too. I cater more to the pets needs or wants. I take the time to get to know an animal and learn their behaviors so I know what activities they might be interested in. I am typically available on Friday evening, and all day Saturday and Sunday. I work from home so taking pets out for regular potty breaks is possible - especially since my little one loves the outdoors. Fun fact: I love teaching puppy tricks and in the 3.5 months we've had our little furball, he has learned hand signals/verbal commands for sit, shake, down, leave it, drop it (for a treat of course), and stay! Don't be fooled though, he can still be a little rascal. I also like to emphasize that we do reward based training, or positive reinforcement training! :)
