Hello! I have always had a strong love and compassion for all animals! I have worked for a groomer where I handled all the bathing, blowdrying, and flea and tick control. Through the time at this job I learned a lot on how to handle dogs and attend to their different needs and personalities. I am a stay at home mom and I also work from my home office so I am here to supervise at all times of the day! If I do need to leave for a short period, all dogs that I am hosting stay indoors until I return home. I have a 8 year old son who loves dogs as much as I do. My home is childproof, all cabinets and doors have locks, and my yard is pesticide free and free of any poisonous plants to animals. All of my dogs get 1-2 walks per day depending on their energy level for approx. 30 min. I am a bit of a stickler on keeping fleas and ticks out of my home and make sure my pets are up to date on their Frontline or other means of flea control. I am 2 min. from Arlington park where I love to walk my dogs on the track or large grass fields, and I always carry pepper spray for protection for myself and the animals I am caring for! Thank you for your interest and I hope to meet you and your furry loved ones very soon!!
