I grew up with a miniature dachshund who was smart and loving, but who had a mind of his own. He inspired my love of all dogs, especially small, high energy, dogs with attitude. I started watching my friends' dogs in graduate school, both large and small. In the last two years, I adopted my own dog and love spoiling her and taking her for long walks! I will be working full time at a local hospital, but on weekends and select weekdays will have very flexible scheduling. I will only make myself as available for bookings on days when I can be home most or all of the day, so as to provide your dog with the best care! I am very patient and would be happy to watch dogs that are shy or who need a little extra TLC!
