Hi! My first real experience and responsibility with dogs was when my parents got me a puppy for my birthday (that I had been begging for for a few years, haha)! I grew up with my sweet golden retriever and had her for 16 long, loving years. I trained my puppy and have been taking care of animals ever since (over 20 years experience!!)! I have lots of experience with larger dogs but also love the smaller ones, too. My schedule is very flexible and I am readily available. I enjoy long dog walks (and runs!) and lots of fun games of fetch. I have lots of love to offer your dog. I have never met a pup that doesn't love a good head scratch or belly rub from me. I am looking forward to meeting your pup!
