My mother has been a dog groomer since well before I was born, so I have spent my whole life around dogs. I have dog sat for multiple family and friends, and in high school, I took care of my family's 5 dogs largely on my own. I've had all sorts of pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even two rabbits. I believe that good communication is necessary for you to feel comfortable with me caring for your dog, and I understand that your dog is part of the family. When caring for your dog, I will stay in contact with you to help you feel as comfortable with your dog's care as possible. I am currently taking classes at NOVA, so I am typically available anytime after noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. My work schedule is super flexible, so as long as I don't have class I am able to be available.
