Growing up with Australian Shepherds has made me a dog lover for life. They have taught me patience and kindness and kept me laughing at the same time. I have had 1 large dog for 14 yrs (Russian wolfhound mix) and know how to walk large breeds. My communication style is gentle but firm, providing the animal with a feeling of safety. Because of that, I tend to get along with animals I have just met fairly quickly. All of your special instructions for your dogs needs and the needs of your space will be taken with utmost care and regard. I am available weekdays after 3 pm and all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I am also available for dog walks in the Waynesville area around lunchtime Monday -Thursday. Thank you for your consideration, hope to be of service soon! ??
