I love everything about the outdoors, and my beloved dog Rosie is a perfect adventure buddy. We enjoy hiking, camping, clicker/positive training, having doggy and friend play dates, and endless snuggles and belly rubs. I am very fortunate to have grown up with very loyal dog best friends since birth. Our first dog, Jake, and I were best friends, and we did everything together from endless walks and fetch, reading books on top of my "horse", playing dress up and having tea parties. I was excited to take on the responsibility of feeding Jake every morning at a very young age. After Jake died at 9 years old, we then adopted Max, who is still living the good life at 14 years old. He struggles, but we want to make him as comfortable as possible with the precious time we have left with him. Both Max and Jake are forever part of our family, and they always came with us on many camping, hiking, and lake adventures. My mom and I worked together to train Max starting from the basics and eventually teaching him the boundaries of our yard. Our neighbors still do not believe us when we say we do not have an electric fence! I now have my own dog, Rosie, who I rescued and have been training from day one. I have experience caring for our family dogs, my own dog, neighbors’ dogs on vacation, and a service dog for a client who was unable to handle him at that particular job. I would love to have a meet-and-greet with your dog to make sure we are the right match for each other. I will have a survey of questions to make sure our time together is consistent with how you treat your dog. Every dog is different, so I want to make sure I have as much information as possible so it is a smooth transition for you and your dog so you and they will be at ease from the beginning! I look forward to meeting and playing with your furry friend!
