Hello! I haven't been very active on Rover while finishing up my graduate degree, but I'm looking forward to getting to know some more sweet pups! I spent the first 19 years of my life caring for my family's dogs and the last five caring for my very own special pup, Benson! He is a Catahoula Leopard dog so I am thoroughly experienced in handling particularly stubborn or excitable animals. We have even graduated three different training courses together. Size is no issue for me. From dachshund to Great Dane - I love them all! My pet care includes walks, play time, any necessary feeding, and even some training if you'd be interested in your pup learning some new tricks while you're away! Positive reinforcement is key to my relationship with dogs, so good behavior will be met with lots of praise! I am available to contact via phone or email at any time. Both are checked regularly throughout the day, though I would prefer to text or call for pressing matters. I would be happy to communicate with you as much as you'd like! My availability is wide open! Please don't hesitate to reach out and schedule a meet and greet. I'd love to meet your dogs!
