I have a high level of experience with animals of all kinds! I grew up taking care and owning dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, frogs and turtles. I love being around and taking care of animals. I am patient, caring, friendly and kind. When caring for your pet, I will treat them like one of my own. I am an active person and I enjoy being in the outdoors, even on rainy days. Depending on the dog, I like to take them on walks near the waterfront, hikes in nearby Forest Park, throw the ball or frisbee, and practice simple commands. I also know how to care for older and/or less active dogs that don't need as much exercise. I can administer medication and provide a comfy place for them to relax. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!
