My priority with dog care is building a close relationship with you and your furry friend. Through my extensive experience owning a dog and dog-sitting, I've learned that every dog is unique, and the best way to care for a dog is to be patient and understand their specific needs, whether that means hand-feeding them dinner or taking them on a dozen walks a day. I've sat for old dogs, young puppies, multiple dogs at once, and dogs who live with cats. I've walked dogs on sandy beaches, in busy downtown streets, and through forests and over mountains on hiking trails. I have experience giving medication such as insulin to pets, and am not squeamish about cleaning up messes. Most importantly, I deeply love dogs.
