Hello, my name is Patricia, and I would be honored to care for your furry friend. I am very experienced watching others animals. I have walked shelter dogs at BARC in NYC, HES in Chattanooga, and Young Williams in Knoxville. I have professionally cared for pets for 2 years. Dogs are a great passion for me, I know breeds and traits very well. I have been through obedience training with several puppies and dogs. I always go by the reward system for behavior. Your dog will definitely enjoy the time he or she spends with me. You can feel safe while away! I live in an apartment. My complex has a fenced dog park 100 yards away. I like to bring the dogs there to play for extended periods of time. We fetch and the dogs play while I read. Personally, I am an artist and a woodworker. I work out of a small studio in my home. I love hiking, swimming, biking and scuba.
