My focus is on providing specialized care tailored for your dog's specific needs, therefore I only take one dog at at time (or two if you have multiple dogs.) My schedule is flexible and I will provide as much love, attention, and activity as your dog needs from daily walks, to cuddles, to yard time, to giving medicine, to play time, and everything in between. Since I was a young child, I have always been an animal lover and nurturing caregiver from rescuing and raising a baby squirrel that fell out of it's nest to helping turtles safely cross the road. Growing up, my family dog was my best buddy and I took primary responsibility for his care. As an adult, I traveled frequently for work so until 2020 didn't have a dog of my own, however I cared for all of types of dogs for family and friends in my home between my trips. During the pandemic, when travel ceased, I decided to give fostering a whirl and adopted my very first foster, Max. He has become my best little bud and we spend lots of quality time together. I was fortunate to be able to retire early in 2022 and have since been fostering and volunteering for One Tail at a Time. I've also added dog-sitting to my agenda.
