I have grown up with dogs in my house the majority of my life. I love to walk, cuddle, play, and provide mutual companionship for myself and the dogs I care for. I welcome dogs of all sizes and breeds as companions. I have had many years of experience looking after puppies and dogs, both for a drop in visits and overnight. I also have had experience and feel comfortable giving dogs oral medicine. Even as a nanny for several years, I have always been sure to give attention to the dogs in the families as well. Pets provide so much for us and I hope to help make your pet happier and provide excellent care when you are not home. I am a graduate student and available mostly mornings and early afternoons weekdays, with some varying scheduling, and around most weekends. I hope you'll consider me as your dog's next friend, play pal, and walking partner!
