I’ve cared for dogs from a young age, growing up with 2 dogs in the family and training them from puppyhood. During my teen years, I started a neighborhood dog walking service, so it seems natural to become a Rover sitter on the side as an adult! I adopted Griffin (my malamute/husky mix) from 8 weeks old, and trained him using redirection and positive reinforcement. He’s now 7 years old, great with kids and other dogs, and is my partner in crime and bestie for the restie. Over the years, I’ve consistently cared for dogs of family members and friends- from puppies to elderly dogs, chihuahuas to Great Dane mixes and everything in between. I have experience using e collars, prong collars, easy leaders, and every other harness type under the sun. I’m also happy to work with your dog to ensure any training progress you are focusing on is reinforced and not lost during my time with them. I am a runner, and enjoy taking doggos with me in a jog. In the past, I’ve taken Griffin and up to one other dog with me at a time (if your fur baby is a runner they are welcome to join us). If not, my neighborhood has ample walking trails and I’m less than half a mile from the Burke Gilman; Griffin and I love a long stroll as well and we typically walk for 3 miles each day.
