I have been a dog lover my entire life! You can go back and ask my kindergarten teacher and she will tell you that I spent every writing and drawing assignment talking about dogs. I grew up with a Hungarian Vizsla and have never gone without a dog in my life. I have read multiple behavior books about dogs and I am well versed in the needs of different sizes and breeds. I am very good at reading body language and I am extremely patient, willing to wait as long as the dog needs to gain their trust. I have cared for multiple pets over the years and volunteered at a local pet shelter, cleaning, walking, and socializing the dogs. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs and comfortable enforcing any training that is necessary for your pet. I treat every dog I meet like my own, making sure they are comfortable and loved, even when you're away! I have been known to stop mid-sentence to look at or ask to pet a nearby dog. I will play with your dog as long as they want to, or just rub an eager belly for 30 minutes straight. I am eager to meet you and your dog! I also have experience working at a dog boarding and daycare facility for over 3 years, gaining experience and trust with the dogs and my coworkers. I was trusted to run the daycare facility on my own.
