I have so much enthusiasm for walks, snuggles and play time with pooches! I grew up with a sweet terrier mix, and have done some pet sitting for dogs of various ages and sizes over the years. I'm told I have a calming energy, and am good with nervous dogs. My daytime availability for walks and home visits is varied due to another part time job, but overnights can be arranged any night by request. My skills as a dog handler are moderate, and can work with assertive "pack leader" energy as required. As a (human!)massage therapist, I'd love to help in any way, especially if your dog is elderly or in pain, though I have no formal training as an animal therapist. Mostly I'm offering my services here as a mutual benefit, as I really miss having a dog and just love spending time with them, and feel I have unique patience and acceptance to share with all beings.
