I've had dogs my entire life, which not only made me HUGE dog lover, but gave me extensive experience taking care of dogs at all stages of life. I enjoy walking, running and hiking with dogs that are able to, as well as simply providing company and care to those who cannot. I am highly responsible and aware of dogs' needs. I have had five puppies, and have an understanding of the firm yet gentle training needed, as well as the amount of energy and attention needed to watch and play with younger pups. In addition to owning dogs my entire life, I also have experience caring for dogs while their owners are out of town. I understand that dogs can get anxious and confused when their owners are gone, and try my best to comfort their anxiety. I genuinely love dogs, and am excited about the opportunity to take care of some local pups!
