I've worked extensively with dogs for over twenty years. I started off training and showing Standard Poodles and Springer Spaniels in the 4-H Club. I then moved on to show at the English Springer Spaniel Club and received 2nd place in Junior Showmanship. I was raised in a family that adores dogs. My mother is a certified Therapy Dog handler and travels with our poodle Willow. My sister is studying to become a vet technician. I now have a Ph.D. in Psychology and spending time with animals is simply a hobby. I'm happy to give your friend the love, attention, and time they need while you are away. I have worked mostly with large dogs, but I would be delighted to befriend them of any shape or size.
