I absolutely love dogs--being in their company, looking after them, playing with them, and just generally making those tails wag. I grew up with dogs and have raised/trained two Guide Dogs for the blind. I'm comfortable around dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and will ensure your dog is loved and cared for the way (s)he deserves. I try to cater my energy level to match different dogs' personalities--calm and quiet for more nervous dogs, and energetic and peppy when it's time to play in the park or go for a walk in the woods. I'm currently in grad school for mental health counseling so I have a fairly open schedule and am punctual, dependable, hard-working, and will take my responsibilities as your dog's caretaker seriously.
