I grew up with dogs my whole life. I just spent the past year living with my sister who was raising a puppy, so I learned all about training techniques and making sure the dog gets enough exercise and attention. I've always had retrievers in my own home so I'm used to high-energy dogs; however, I love any and all kinds of dogs and will treat them as if they are my own! I live in a house with a large fenced-in backyard where dogs are able to roam free. I love taking the dogs on walks or hikes depending on their size and endurance levels. I'm VERY flexible with my schedule and am able to check-in early, midday, or late at night, depending on the needs of the owner/dog.
