I am a Navy wife, finishing my degree online through Penn State while I stay at home with my young son. When I was younger, I volunteered with my mom at the numerous animal shelters as a dog walker and dog trainer. I spent many years there taking the dogs out for walks and helping to bathe them. I also became a certified trainer with the shelter and taught a basic skills class for new pet owners. One of my parents’ dogs is a rescue dog with only 3 legs, so I can take care of special needs dogs. My family fostered dogs from the shelter for years, so I've been in contact with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities and I have a lot of experience and knowledge on how to handle any situation. Being a figure skater, exercise is very important to me and I'm highly capable of being active with your dog. Not to mention, I love hanging out with them and spending time with all dogs! I know what it’s like to be nervous to leave your dogs with someone else while you’re out of town, but you won’t have to worry about anything when I’m with your dog! I will make sure you’re updated very frequently with pictures and a report of how they’re doing. I will love and care for your dog as if it’s my own!
