Growing up my family always owned at least 3 dogs and I've been a huge dog lover for many years. I'm very patient with dogs, I never get angry or frustrated when they don't listen. I've always been able to establish a connection with dogs in a way that's gentle and respectful. I also love to walk/run and I am a very active person. I often hit over my 10,000 daily step goal. I will have no problem walking your dog far enough to get in that exercise! I graduated from Harding University and I've lived in Little Rock for over 5 years, so I know many safe places within the city and city parks to go on long walks. I can handle dogs that seem large or intimidating to others, but I love small dogs too and grew up with a small dog - so no matter the size or breed, you can feel confident choosing me to give your dog the care it deserves.
