I am a 31 year old animal and nature lover who has spent time working on farms engaged in animal husbandry and caring for both my own and friends pets. I am excited about getting outside and active with your dog, whether hiking outside Portland, walking in your neighborhood, or playing in parks! I am an attentive and energetic person who will take the time to get to know your dog and understand its needs and personality. I understand deeply that dogs are social animals that need communication and interaction. If I am taking care of your dog in your home or mine I will ensure a protected and clean environment, and in public it is important to me to honor good behavior around other people and dogs.
