When I was six years old I told my parents that I wanted to open a doggie daycare in my backyard. Doggie daycare didn't exist then - they should've listened to me! I've always wanted to take care of dogs. I grew up with my family's dogs, and I've had my own dogs as an adult. I've been a dog-sitter for close to 12 years, and I've worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I also dog-sat a dog for 3 months while she recovered from major surgery, so I can follow vet instructions well. I'm great at walking and playing with dogs. I'm patient and kind. I do not yell or hit, and I understand that dogs get scared and anxious. I'm dedicated to helping dogs be happy and healthy!
