Dog owner for nine years. I am reliable, patient, and calm, which I think are all important qualities to have when working with animals. I am also strong enough to handle large dogs and I know how to care for dogs with an assortment of needs. I can bathe and give medication as needed. My current companion is a senior dog that I have cared for through many aliments, including breast cancer and arthritis. I'm passionate about animals and look forward to working with a variety of dogs. I’m compassionate and I care about the well-being of dogs. I’m a hard worker and in shape. I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I work hard to understand the best way to work with them and make them comfortable.
