What makes me unique: I have an energetic puppy of my own who loves to play with other friendly dogs. Not only can she be a lovely companion for your dog, but she's also instilled me with tremendous patience as we work through training. If you have a rambunctious puppy or dog of your own, I can't promise to bring it back to you as a model citizen. However, I can promise that I will treat it with the love, patience, and kindness with which I treat my own puppy. My experience: I was born into a family with 3 large mixed breed dogs and was raised in a house with at least 2-3 dogs at a time for most of my life. We lived in an area without many children my age so my bond with our family pets quickly grew. By the age of 8, I was responsible for the majority of the dog-related chores in the household and couldn't be happier. While at university I was unable to house animals in my home, but I've recently moved into a pet-friendly condominium and am now excited to begin professional dog sitting, walking, and boarding services as an adult.
