My number one goal is to make sure your dog or cat is happy and gets the care it needs. I understand dogs are pack animals and need to be treated as such. They can't speak with words, but if you can read their body language you can read their thoughts. I always make sure to take great care to understand and meet their needs. I brought home my first dog in 2008 and since then my family of two has grown to a family of 5 (Bichon Frise, two Corgis, and a Golden Retriever)! While I do not have any cats to call my own, I fostered cats of all life stages from kittens to seniors. I live a very outdoor-sy lifestyle. My dogs and I love to go hiking on our days off and backpacking during the long weekends. During winter we like to spend our weekends up in Tahoe in the snow. Trusting a complete stranger with your loved ones land you in a perpetual hole of stress and anxiety, but it is my goal is to keep you updated during our time together to reduce the stress and anxiety you may feel. I will do my best to gain your trust as well as your pet's. I look forward to working with you in the long run, and hope I can get to a point where you feel comfortable leaving your pet in my care. There is always room for growth and I always welcome criticism and feedback as to how I can grow.
