As someone who grew up with large dogs (German Shepherds and a rescue German Shepherd/Border Collie mix), I spent my formative years learning how to play with and take care of our dogs in all stages of their life. Whether you have a energetic, young pup, a wise, older pup, or anything in between, you can trust that I will take care of them with patience and respect. I love all dogs, regardless of size or breed, and am willing to try working with dogs who may take a little extra time warming up to new people or maybe are a little "quirky". I'm a little quirky, too, so it might just work out. I also love cats and have over two decades experience caring for them. Whether they need attention or a little space, I’d love to check in on them as well. I am available on most mornings for walks or check-ins and some afternoons as well.
