I've had dogs all my life and they are a vital part of our family. For the past 8 years, I've been manager of a local non-profit rescue shelter located on the eastern shore of Maryland. Sadly, the shelter is closing its doors on December 31 of this year. During my years at the shelter I've cared for hundreds of dogs and have learned a phenomenal amount about all aspects of dogs' personalities. I consider myself very knowledgeable about medical and behavioral issues of dogs. I am comfortable doing dog introductions and monitoring dog interaction. Lastly I will care for your dog as if he or she was mine. Keeping your dog safe is my priority. I am very physically fit and love to walk!
