Five years ago, I started fostering dogs and quickly realized how much I enjoyed it. Since then, I've fostered many dogs (and some cats and bunnies!) with completely different personalities and needs, which has taught me a lot about patience and adaptability. Many of my fosters arrived with little to no training, so I've spent a lot of time working on basic obedience—things that make a real difference in helping them get adopted. Building trust with a new dog, especially one that's been through a rough time, takes patience, but it's one of the most rewarding parts of the work. I work from home, so I know how hard it can be to find someone reliable to care for your pet. I'm responsive and communicative, and my goal is simple: make sure your dog is well cared for and you don't have to worry while you're away. My neighborhood is suburban with good walking routes, which dogs seem to appreciate.
