I've been around dogs my entire life, and never met one I didn't love! From the time I was born, our house always had a couple dogs, and I adopted my own pup, Jackie, in 2010. I am typically available early morning (before 8:00 am) or after 5:00 pm on any given day. Jackie and I lead a pretty active life, and are often on the go - she often accompanies me on weekend trips backpacking and hiking. I was lucky enough to have a vet tech as a mom, and from her, gained experience in administering medications and care, such as light grooming, nail trimming, and ear cleanings. I'm open to whatever your pup needs during a walk, visit, or overnight stay, whether it's cuddles, trips to the dog park, short runs, long walks, or any special medical needs,
