I grew up with a golden retriever, and later a yellow labrador who was my best canine friend throughout my childhood and teenage years. Back home in Colorado, I helped my family raise our two current dogs, another yellow lab and a Bernese lab mix. I have cared for many neighbors and friends dogs, and am able to handle a wide range of personalities. I am confident handling any size dog on a leash and will work with your dogs specific needs, including any special conditions. I am comfortable administering medication if necessary. I take care of other dogs the same way I take care of my own, with lots of love and attention. It makes me happy to see dogs smile and I love to be the reason behind that smile!
