I have ALWAYS lived with animals: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish and birds. My connection with dogs is one that promotes cooperation and positivity. I know how to "read" a dog and will always use those observations to inform my interactions with them. I respect and revere dogs as they have always been "family" to me. Humans owe very much to dogs as they have been our loyal friends and helpers for centuries! I am a mature, highly educated, responsible and reliable person with integrity who promises to treat your dog(s) as if they were my own. I welcome "get-to-know-you" visits, free of charge, to help both you and your dog(s) feel comfortable in hiring my service. I look forward to meeting you!
