Previous pet trainer and dog walker at Margale Pet Resort. From the day I was born I lived with two dogs: one golden retriever and one labrador retriever; As I grew up I began to care for them at a surprisingly young age. I gave them food and water and took them on long walks or to the park to play. By the age of ten, I knew how to train dogs with simple and complex commands such as sit, paw, heel, and roll over. Eventually, those two dogs passed away and I got a golden retriever puppy named Chloe. I raised Chloe and when she became an adult dog she got pregnant, and then I raised her nine puppies with my family in 2011. My parents kept two of Chloe's puppies and I took care of them (and Chloe) all the time. Fast forward to present time — my family’s dogs have all passed away due to old age. I would love to take care of dogs again. I always thought I would become a veterinarian and care for pets, but instead it became a hobby of mine. I am super intuitive, confident, nurturing, and dedicated when it comes to taking care of pets. I guarantee your pet will be in the right hands. I have petsit and walked other pet owner’s dogs plenty of times — mostly my family’s friends, neighbors, and coworkers’ dogs. My hope is that you will feel safe and comfortable leaving your pet with me. If my profile looks like the right for you, please connect with me to set up a meet and greet! I look forward to it. Dog must be friendly with other dogs.
