I grew up around dogs and have always felt a very special connection to them. I have always been responsible for walking, feeding, and playing with our dogs while living at home. I have cared for our dog alone for extended periods of time and provided her with great care. Additionally, I have enjoyed working as a dog-sitter and dog-walker in my neighborhood with dogs of all sizes and ages. As a dog sitter, walker, and owner, I am familiar with dog dynamics in the park, the home, and the street. My love of dogs extends beyond a job, as I have volunteered at a local shelter to walk dogs who may not otherwise get the care, attention, and exercise that other dogs are afforded. I have a fenced in backyard and live minutes from several great dog parks, live in a bottom-floor apartment for a dog who may not be able to use the stairs, and love playing and cuddling! I can provide your dog with care, comfort, and love second only to your own!
