I have loved all animals my entire life but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I worked in an animal clinic when I was in college and my love just grew. I started caring for my friend's dogs over 12 years ago. They were at work for long periods of time, so I would pick the pups up in the morning and they would either get picked up in the evening or I would bring them home. They became part of our family and we loved them very much. The last one crossed the Rainbow Bridge in October 2021 and left a massive hole in our family. Soon after, my daughter Jenna began doing Rover in our home. When she moved out it just made sense for me to take over the job. I have watched all kinds of dogs from puppies to elderly dogs and from chihuahuas to great danes. I limit the number of pups I take because I truly enjoy getting to know each pup's unique personality and being able to give the quality care they deserve. It allows me to give them lots of love and attention. I do allow pups on the furniture and they get to sleep with me if they want to. I do not take aggressive or unsocialized dogs. The environment here is very fun and relaxed. I want all my pups to feel unstressed and have a good time. I have administered medicines and have been a hands on nurse for elderly pups heading for the rainbow bridge. I have been called the dog whisperer by friends for years. Hopefully I can whisper to your dog. This is the best job I have ever had. There is nothing I would rather be doing and your dogs will know that immediately! I have a house full of dog lovers. I consider myself to be the affectionate one. My husband is definitely the playful one and my daughter has moved out but is a dog trainer and is here quite a bit. We all love dogs and love having them in our home. Your dogs will be treated like family and they will feel like they are at Grandma's house getting all the attention, love and care they want and deserve! I am almost always home. Pup care is my full time job. Your pups will be given plenty of attention, outdoor playtime and potty breaks. I have a large acre fenced yard for your pup to run and play in as well as many indoor areas for play when the weather is bad. They tend to follow me all around the house so I always know what they are up to.
