I've had dogs my entire life and started walking dogs professionally when I was 19 years old (nine years ago). I've watched friends dogs and take care of my own best friend (goldendoodle, George). He's coming up on 6 years this spring. I have plenty of references and would love to take care of your furry friend. I'm patient, very active and understanding of the needs of animals. Happy to help in any way that I can😃 I work in real estate, currently waiting on my license to be approved in Hawaii. I also control my schedule, so I have ample time to see to the needs of your pet. I had 9 dogs a day on my route in Chicago that I cared for, many were emotionally and physically abused. It took months to build a trusting and loving relationship which takes patience, kindness and care. I always ease my way into a new pets heart and make sure to make eye contact and let them smell me so that they feel good about spending time with me. After all, the nose is the way to a dogs heart...and good belly rubs of course!
