I am an elementary school speech therapist with a love for dogs and nights, weekends, and summers free to spend spoiling them on your schedule! I grew up with two springer spaniel/lab mixes, and for the past 7 years I spent my days, nights, and everything in between with my one-eyed bluetick coonhound Ellie. She passed away due to bladder cancer in June, and I miss the presence of a pup in my home every day. In August, some friends found a stray kitten in the woods in West Virginia, and I took him in and cleaned him up. His name is Michael! I have experience administering oral and topical medications, caring for senior dogs, and following through with any veterinary instructions. It is important to me to provide care that is consistent with your furry friend's routine so that they can be happy and stress-free. I would love to give your dog the exercise, attention, and affection that it needs!
