My family had dogs growing up, and I have taken care of dogs and other pets for many years. I'd have one of my own if I was sure I would be in this area long-term! But for now, I've got a lot of snuggles and love to give to others' pets. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I really enjoy getting to know the unique personality of each creature. I'm flexible, energetic, patient, caring, and will approach each pet the way their owners do. I am observant and intuitive, which helps me to make sure that pets feel safe and loved. I am happy to communicate with owners to make the experience the best it can be for both the animals & humans involved!
