I love dogs, and more importantly, I understand them. A lifetime of caring for, interacting with and learning about animals has given me the skills to keep dogs safe, healthy, engaged, and of course, happy! I enjoy all types of dogs and all personalities. I have a degree in Veterinary Technology and took additional classes in dog behavior and am comfortable with dogs that are difficult for others, such as dominant or very timid. I feel a special connection with dogs that are unsure and love using my knowledge of them to help them come out of their shell. I have worked with hundreds of dogs in veterinary, rescue, boarding and grooming settings. I have attained a CGC with two dogs and done some agility. But mostly I love just being with dogs, mine and any I come across, walking, playing, snuggling, swimming, and anything that brings that smile to their face and that sparkle to their eye. I am honest, flexible, and will respect your property 100%. I am honored to be trusted by those I work for and am happiest when I hear "I didn't have to worry at all because I knew you were there".
