I am a firm believer that dogs are such a special part of the family. I've grown up around and had dogs my whole life, and I know the importance of peace of mind when it comes to making sure your dog is safe, loved, and happy. I'd be thrilled to give all the belly rubs, walks, trips to the park, and my undivided attention to make sure you can relax while away from your pupper! I work at a high school, and I am my schedule allows me to give frequent potty breaks and playtime. I can leave for lunch most days when needed. I currently only allow one dog at my house at a time so I can make sure my care is excellent and your expectations are not compromised. I've babysat for a golden retriever, hound mix, chihuahuas, and a few others over the years. I had my own dog, Maggie (golden retriever mix in photos,) who passed away at 14 (I'll miss her forever.) I'm used to giving oral medications to dogs and would be happy to accommodate any needs your pet may have. I have grown up with cats and dogs, and frequently watch my family and friend's pets when they are away. I know how difficult and anxiety-provoking it can be to leave your dog with someone, especially someone you don't know. I am happy to do meet-and-greets and build a relationship as someone you can trust. I can send you picture updates, text updates, and you can even FaceTime with your pooch if you like. My only disclaimer is that although I don’t have any dogs of my own anymore, I live in a complex with lots of other dogs, so kindly keep that in mind if your dog is aggressive toward others. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I can't wait to meet you and your pup!
