I've volunteered for over two years at the local animal shelter, walking hundreds of dogs and training some in the spare time. I walked dogs up to 90 pounds and can handle hard pulling on dogs up 75 pounds. In addition, I spent the volunteer days reaching out to potential adopters by showing off each dog's greatest qualities to find suitors the right match for their household. I groom dogs, including bathing and brushing, of all sizes and ages and have experience with dealing with fleas as well as a trick to eliminate them - - With no harmful chemicals or sprays! If you need help training your companion, I can assist in maintaining their habits or routines of working on tricks/behaviors. I love all canine friends and enjoy providing warm, welcome environments to them when their owner's are away! As an added bonus, I do board other animals, so don't be afraid to ask! I will take in nearly any caged, exotic, or feline beauty you may have.
