I am a lifelong animal lover and adept dog handler, trainer, and caregiver. I started my first dog walking business when I was a child, became a Registered Nurse as an adult, and am thrilled to be working with dogs again part-time. My care experience encompasses dogs old and young, large and small, and other animals too, from mice and fish to chickens and horses. In the past I volunteered at Nevins Farm MSPCA in Methuen, and Ironstone Farm in Andover. I currently volunteer as a companion for hospice patients. I am an active member of my community, trustworthy, patient, responsible, and can respond quickly to changing situations. I understand dog body language, and am perceptive to their needs and limits. My hours and rates are flexible. References available.
