Over the past two decades, my family and I have had the privilege to welcome 6 dogs into our hearts. These dogs have been the loves of my life, and creating healthy, happy and safe lives for them has been a clear (and joyful!) priority. Like people, dogs are greatly affected by their environment. A fun, active and loving environment is very important for a dog's mental & physical health and personality, and I take the health and safety of my dogs--and the dogs of others that I am lucky to work with--very seriously. Walks and home-visits with me will include lots of active time playing, love and pets appropriate to each dog's personality, and respect for what each dog-parent expects of the visit for their pet. I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities, and Richmond is a great city for dog-walking! I have wide-ranging availability during the weekday--whenever you need me, I am most likely available. I am a 'people person' as well as a 'dog person', and have a responsible and warm communication style. Please be in touch--I look forward to supporting your family and working with your dogs!
