I grew up with animals and have lived with dogs nearly my entire life (both in the city and suburbs). From teacup terriers to 80lb boxers and pitties, birds and rodents, I am a natural with animals. I've learned to take the necessary time and attention to get to know the pets I work with, to ensure they are comfortable with me and their environment (adjusting to each animal's unique personality). I am active and enjoy trail and street runs & walks (with pets allowed in my car), and off-leash playtime. I've also had experience administering medicine and pills. I have a flexible schedule currently, and happy to coordinate regular walks or sits if that's preferred. I've worked with trainers and walkers before and have learned the good and the not so good techniques to make sure we're all safe and happy!
