A dog is a special part of the family. I am a newly barred attorney who is responsible, professional and absolutely loves dogs. Over the last 10 years, I have had the privilege of caring for a variety of dogs--both mine and others for short term (a few hours) to much longer term (week+). As I recently moved back to WA and my lease won't allow it, I can't own my own dog for now but would be elated to love yours like it was mine when your dog is in my care. In everything I do, I strive to go above and beyond and will do so with the care of your dog---diversifying our walks/visits, observing what your dog prefers, listening and following your directions precisely, spending quality time with your dog, exercising when appropriate, taking your dog to wherever you would prefer and making sure your dog feels cared for completely before they can reconnect with you. I have routines that seem to work well with the dogs I care for but also would be completely happy to defer to the routine you feel is best. In general, I enjoy taking the dogs in my care for walks, playing with their favorite toys and giving them affection. Right now I work primarily remotely and therefore I can be readily available to your dog as much as desired. I look forward to talking with you more about caring for your dog and to meeting you both.
