I have loved animals for as long as I can remember-- my pets are my family and I treat them as such, just like I would for your furry friend. I have 1 cat- Oliver, as well as a rabbit named Charlie. I took care of a wonderful dog who lived to be 15, I miss her, but would love to carry on my love for dogs by taking care of others! I enjoy creating a lasting bond with them, while discovering their personality and uniqueness. I like to think I understand dog behavior pretty well from being around them most days. I worked at a healthy pet food store for 4 years, where we always encouraged people to bring their dogs in and teach them about healthy pet foods. We learned a lot about nutrition and all aspects of a dog's (and cats!) life. And of course some of the best parts of my day are when I get to meet new people and their dogs. I understand meeting a stranger can be a new experience for some dogs and that trust is a two way street. And I always like to emphasize that your rules are my rules! I would love to meet you and your furry creature(s) and know they'll have a great time! And they can have all the healthy treats they want unless told otherwise :)
