I’ve never known life without dogs! 🐶 Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, and my childhood dream was actually to become a veterinarian. I’ve cared for many different breeds, ages, and personalities over the years. I have 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, and I’ve cared for many puppies as well, including helping with potty training and basic routines. I’ve also always wanted to become a certified professional pet groomer, so I’m very comfortable with grooming, brushing, bathing, and general dog care. What sets me apart is that I pay close attention to each dog’s personality. I never force dogs to interact if they’re uncomfortable. I carefully introduce dogs and provide a separate, quiet space when needed. My own dogs especially love spending time with older dogs, and I’d be happy to welcome a new furry friend when the personalities are a good match. My child is also a huge dog lover, but he is at preschool during the day. If your dog isn’t comfortable around children or other dogs, I can give them their own private space so they can feel safe and relaxed. I also love taking dogs on long walks and can provide the extended walks mentioned in my profile. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and want them to feel safe, loved, and truly at home while you’re away. 🐾
