I have always had dogs and a variety of creatures. I love them, they know this and love me in return! I have cared for many dogs and know that my experience as a certified pre-k teacher is the same as caring for an animal. Dogs are family members and as important as someone's child. I take dog care very seriously. Their safety, happiness and issues come before anything else. I am very young at heart and in great shape. I was in Boston recently caring for a 3 year old lab and we had a blast. She is a rescue, very timid with panic attacks. We got through them together! I am comfortable with dogs with "issues." I have adopted animals throughout my life.
