I love dogs and they love me! I have so much fun expanding my extended family to amazing dogs and their families. I give the same love and care to all dogs that stay in my home, the same that I give to my own dog, Callie. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for them to stretch their legs and play. Callie is a small dog but gets along with lots of new personalities. Between me, Callie and my almost 13 year old daughter, we love hosting our dog guests and making them feel at home. I have worked my entire professional career in animal care including volunteering, interning, kennel assistant, vet tech, animal trainer and keeper, wildlife rehabilitator, zoological manager and curator, professional animal trainer and director of animal operations. I currently oversee two programs at an animal facility: a bird of prey rehabilitation hospital and an ambassador animal program for conservation education. My schedule is flexible most days, but I do work outside of my home. I may not be a good fit for pet parents that exclusively work from home. I am experienced and comfortable administering medications and caring for elderly pets as well as younger dogs who need their training maintained while mom and dad are away. I open my home to all types of dogs; I'm even-tempered, trustworthy, patient, and caring to all personalities, breeds and ages. I look forward to helping you feel comfortable while you’re away and knowing your dog(s) are receiving the care they deserve. 💕
