I worked in an animal shelter for several years as a primary dog walker for dogs of all sizes and temperaments in order to exercise and rehabilitate animals desperately in need of care. The time I spent working in my local shelter deeply influenced who I am and instilled in me a passion for animals that will always be a part of who I am. My partner Greg has been raising and training puppies since he was a kid. He specializes in behavioral training and loves to care for dogs from birth all through their lives. I also have extensive knowledge of dog breeds and their unique needs after working at dog shows as both a groomer and an award winner shower for Old English Sheepdogs. Dogs deserve humans who understand their individual needs and can properly see to their exercise, care, and mental well-being. I have been dogsitting and walking for over eight years now. I have watched after dogs ranging from golden doodle puppies to elderly german shepherds as well as active corgis and athletic breeds of all kinds. I love working with dogs and I always have. I am a hiker and enjoy taking my dogs out on long walks. The health and well-being of the dogs in my care is always my primary concern.
