I will treat your dog as if it were my beloved family. I am gentle, patient, but also as active and playful as your pooch wants to be. I am care free or disciplined, however you or fido prefers and needs! Your pooch will return safer and happier. I can walk, jog, run or carry. I currently care for a golden retriever and a black rescue named Iggy, who are truly my two children. I've been a dog owner all my life, mostly with well-adjusted if not well-trained dogs. For less socialized or wary pets I am willing to stage a meet and greet, but cannot make guarantees for every situation. I always employ a calm, confident, and patient approach to gain trust from your dog, and allow him or her to feel safe. One of my passions in life is respect for wildlife and the conscious experience of other animals. Where they cannot speak I endeavor to give them a voice. I am currently working from home and can provide attentive care throughout the day. For walks I can go for small turns around the neighborhood or walk for miles depending on what you prefer for your dog. Dog parks and/or playtime outside included!
