Hello Dog Parents! Since joining Rover about a year ago, I have had the privilege of taking care of dogs (and cats) of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I have cared for these dog as if they were my own and have made plenty of new fur-friends. Growing up around dogs and many different types of pets, I have developed not only a love for animals, but also learned the proper way to care for them. I have raised puppies from the wild age of 6 weeks and watched over gentle senior dogs living out their final days, so I am comfortable with all ages. I am also able to assist with basic obedience training and behavioral correction exercises, per request. The kinds of dogs I've owned have mostly been large retriever breeds, so I am very good with the active dogs who love run, jump and play. Currently, I don’t have a dog of my own but my family has a spirited and rambunctious goldendoodle (pictured) that I love to pieces. Together we go on long hikes on nature trails and play lots (endless games) of frisbee. If your dog seems to have a never ending supply of energy, I will wear them out for you!
