I have been an avid dog lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up we had a variety of breeds - ranging from boxers to chihuahua mixes - and have always treated them as part of our family. Daily walks and an abundance of love & affection are key to a dog's health and happiness. When a dog's owner(s) - or "Mom" and "Dad" as we say in our household - are away, I know I have to work extra hard to to compensate for the pillar that is momentarily missing from their life. During my time in high school and college I worked at a local dog kennel on my weekends for about 5 years, and absolutely loved it! Spending extra time with dogs was such a treat, and taught me so much. I learned everything from proper feeding techniques and providing vital medications, to observing and adapting to their different mannerisms and needs. I am a responsible, hard working dog lover who will absolutely go the extra mile to see that your dog is in the best care while you are away! ** PLEASE NOTE THAT I WORK FULL TIME MONDAY-FRIDAY, AND AM THEREFORE UNAVAILABLE FOR DROP INS DURING THE WEEK **
