I adore caring for all shapes and sizes of different canine characters. I have worked as a pet groomer and owned dogs for my whole life. I have experience with dogs of every need and breed. Maybe yours wants a lap to snuggle in and a scratch behind the ears. While others may prefer to take their space after a long walk and a wiz. I've been caring for and watching over the animals of friends and family (and now that of the Rover community) since I was a kid. Whether it was just to help out letting a friend's dog out while they worked a long shift or spending a few nights making sure everything in the house ran smoothly while the owners were away, I am happy to help! On top of that I worked as a professional pet groomer for 3 years. I have experience working with almost every dog breed and the unique personalities that come along with them. Grooming, at times, could be a task of great patience and discipline and I have come away from it knowing how to calm an excited puppy with a stern voice and soothe the nerves of a scared old man with a chest rub and calming tone. I have a love and passion for working with animals and will make sure that they are well and taken care of properly at all times. You will get plenty of photos of me and your pet as we work together and cultivate a relationship and a consistent line of communication in regards to both you and your pets needs. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions or concerns!
