My family got our first dog when I was in 5th grade and I’ve grown up loving animals. I love dogs (and cats!) of all kinds and temperaments and have fun figuring out what makes an animal happy. I currently can’t have a pet and miss playing with and caring for animals, and am excited to cuddle, hike, and play with your dog. I know the importance of consistent training and boundaries, and will enforce any rules to which your dog is accustomed. I am responsible and tidy and will make sure to leave your home in the best condition if house sitting. Even though I generally work a “9-5” I can create some flexibility for pups who need extra love during the day and be with them during evenings.
