I am caring, attentive, and responsible, and have been around dogs almost my whole life. I started caring for dogs when I was in school and have become so accustomed to being around them that my home feels empty when I don't have a furry friend around. I love getting to meet new dogs and getting to know all their (big) personalities and cute quirks. It just puts a big smile on my face and I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to spend so much time with so many different dogs and all the joy and warmth they bring. Every dog is different but they are all special in their own way and I feel fortunate that I am able to be a part of their world and share space with them. The time we share is always memorable. I truly believe dogs make the best companions, and that's exactly how I'll treat your dog--as my companion and sidekick. I work mostly from home, and my building has a small yard which is great for those who need to give their 4 legs a stretch and get some fresh air! I also live near 3 parks, including two dog parks, where we can go for a walk or a run, or even play around I like to walk and especially love long walks. I enjoy walks even more when I have a furry companion by my side. Since I've spent so much time with dogs over the years I've grown very attune their orientation and sense of experience. So, I know when to stay the course or opt for an alternative route, cross the street or step to the side if my companion is excited or smells trouble. Of course, if they're happy to stop and smell the roses and check things out, then so am I :) I look forward to meeting you and your best (furry) friend soon!
