I've spent my life with dogs since birth, often whole packs of pups, from shepards to schnauzers, boxers to St. Bernards, big to small, young and old. I've cared for sick pups, old dogs, nursing mothers, and feel a strong connection with offering calm loving care though these rough times. Of course spending time with a lively strong dog is a pleasure too, especially those who walk with grace. I respect dogsand feel they have so much to share, so I listen attentively to the needs and wants of a pooch. I especially enjoy giving dog massages, and playing at there level- a good tug of war or a 20 minute chuck-it session, or a nice 30 minute walk. I'm more than happy to keep up with your training routine, so your dog will get all the love and and support it needs while you're away. My pup Mei is a lively, happy, shiny-coated testament to my dog-loving, and I'm sure you pup will feel similar. I have ample experimence housesitting and dig sitting, and enjoy being able to keep dogs feeling like life is as normal as possible while the humans are away.
