Recently relocated from the Midwest, but originally from Florida, I work from home full time now in the tech industry and therefore am lucky enough to have a flexible schedule that allows me to help other's with their pup-care needs. I'm a proud dog mom to my 9 year old Golden Retriever, Barkley, who I've had since he was 8 weeks old. He was a gift, and is still the most precious one I have ever received! Prior to my life with him, I was raised with dogs, and through high school and college, I made extra money by watching neighbors' and friends' pets while they were out of town. As a teenager, I enjoyed spending portions of my summers working at my uncle's veterinary clinic in Tallahassee, Florida, where I did everything from assisting with surgeries to cleaning kennels to administering medications. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to entrust your baby's care with someone else (I've been there!). And while there's no substitute for a pet parent's love, let me lessen your worries and provide your pup with the best possible stand in. I look forward to meeting you!
