I have had an Alaskan Malamute and Whippet growing up and I have handled other family's dogs for short times as well. I have been part of the Rover community for 5 years and have even worked for two dog breeders, one of which specialized in show. Since being on Rover for that long I have worked with lots of different dog breeds - all sizes, temperaments and health issues. I have given shots, liquid oral medications, know how to take dog temperatures and have the a few tips and tricks for giving pills. I love dogs and am looking forward to owning my own Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever in the near future! I have an open schedule with lots of time to take care of your family pet according to your request. I love all aspects of dog care- walking, grooming, feeding, and loving! I usually respond in a timely manner and always try to be flexible with whatever needs or circumstances that you as the dog owner have. I am very excited by every request I get and hope to meet you soon!
