With a lifetime of experience raising dogs (along with cats and farm animals), studying exotic animals and show/sporting dogs, and supporting animal welfare, I've never lost my passion for animals! I am a member of the Washington State Obedience Training Club and a board member of the Evergreen Golden Retriever Club. I occasionally work with my dog for field work and hope to do so more when the pandemic passes! I also have experience working at Petsmart's doggy daycare and boarding center, but I prefer a personal approach to pet care. I have a dog (adult desexed female Golden) who would love to meet yours! Every dog and human she meets is automatically her BFF, and she’s fantastic with young puppies! I have a flexible schedule, and I'm usually available all day on weekdays. Nothing is more important to me than animal welfare, and I only take on tasks that I can handle responsibly and confidently. At my house, dogs spend their time playing with each other, playing with me, getting lots of petting and attention, and spending a relaxed, laid-back time in an anxiety-free, loving environment! I hope to meet you and your pup soon!
