I work from home full time and am able to not leave the dogs alone for more than 1-2 hours if needed. I understand the stress that comes with leaving your pet with a stranger, and we are here for all the questions, assurance, and instructions you have. I was a dog mom to a 15 year old pug, who I sadly had to let go in 2020. I also had a Shepherd/Border Collie mix for 10 years, so I have experience with more active dogs too. I adopted a pug mix, Gizmo, in 2021. I've had a love for dogs since I was a child, and have years of experience owning, walking, and training dogs. I've had many dogs throughout my childhood and adult life ranging from a Mastiff to a malti-poo. My pug Winston was blind and deaf, so I have extra skills and love for older dogs with special needs. I've been through the Pet Partners Therapy Training program and can help if you are trying to get your dog certified as a therapy pet. Safety is my main priority and treat all dogs as if they were my own pets. I volunteered for a local animal shelter before the Pandemic walking dogs and am used to handling all energies and personalities. I have been practicing and working with my dog Gizmo on getting him certified as a therapy dog through Pet Partners. I will make time to continue any training you are currently working on with your dog and can work on new skills while spending time with your dog.
