I've been an animal lover all my life, but dogs have a very special place in my heart. I've rescued most of my dogs growing up, volunteered at local shelters, and rescued many dogs I've found in danger, finding them a good new home or helping them to be returned to their worried families (I’ve lived in both heavily populated cities and countrysides with lots of strays). I’m currently a dog walker & sitter and I have experience with many different breeds and sizes. I have experience dealing with extremely nervous, docile dogs that need a little extra care and patience. I like to think that I have a very soothing voice that they respond well to. I also have experience dealing with high energy dogs that need a lot of exercise and tiring out. I understand the importance of making sure that they are living a happy, healthy life, and not just sitting around bored all day. I love being around dogs and I've been told I have a very special way with them. They bring me as much joy as I do them. I also really enjoy narrating our time together/singing/just being silly and talking to dogs because it seems to make them enjoy our time together even more and builds a stronger bond. My own dog has all of his vaccines including Lyme disease / canine flu and I keep him very clean, so if yours ever happens to come in contact with him (say if you’d like me to bring him along for a sitting to have a play date with your own pup/s), he will be safe.
