I've grown up with dogs and have taken care of pups big and small. Growing up, we had a Maltese, 2 Greyhounds, and 7 pugs, so I spent more time with dogs than with people. I have two dogs of my own, both rescues who took lots of love and attention to learn to trust and be happy. This has taught me to be very patient and understand each dog has specific needs. I'm a runner so I'm happy to run or walk (or a combination of both) with your dog. I am currently looking to walk dogs or do drop in visits because of my cat, however, if your dog has lived with cats and is not bothered by them, I'd be happy to consider boarding.
