Life long doglover

Pet care experience

I've had dogs pretty much my whole life. As an adult, I adopted a pit/Shephard mix when I was 19 and he was the best dog ever and helped raise my son. Currently, I have a 6 year old lab/whippet mix named Henry and a 10 year old shephard/chow mix named Briggs. Henry has had ACL surgery, so I'm very well rehearsed in giving pills and rehabbing dogs and Briggs is very nervous around people and anxious in general, so I'm well versed in making dogs comfortable as well.

Nicole has been an absolute life saver! I had to start going back into the office a couple days a week and already, I’m realizing who my dog would prefer to walk with on our lunch break.. Nicole! Sasha has been behaving so much better on our walks too, I know she can’t wait to see her bestie again!
