I always had animals, growing up. I started with cats, when I was a toddler, and a few years later, moved on to dogs. There was never a year that I did not own and care for at least one animal. I have worked mostly with small and medium breeds, and have taken care of large breeds, on occasion. The dog that I had the longest (a Chihuahua named Peanut, who unfortunately passed away recently from old age) had two litters of puppies, which I took care of, loved, and then found loving, caring homes for. I have trained three dogs (all Chihuahuas, with very different personalities.) While I am more than happy to help train your dogs, I would not call myself a trainer. I moved across the country for my job, which travels often, so my dog, Rocky, stayed with my parents; I miss him very dearly, so I am looking for animals in the area to share my love with! Mostly, what makes me qualified for the job, is that I love animals! Dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes, etc. I love to pet, cuddle, play with, and, most of all, love them. I am more than happy to head over to your place and spend the day or night with your animals. We will have a wonderful time together, and they will be well taken care of!
