I grew up in a house filled with animals. I have been dog sitting for years and train my own dogs. I have experience with very large dogs (100 lbs+) and very small dogs (10lbs -). I am an avid hiker and I can find the perfect trails to exercise your dog according to their own individual fitness level and needs. I have cared for pets through their end of life needs and am comfortable administering medication or monitoring senior dogs. My Rhodesian Ridgeback, Abigail, is a wonderful playmate and can be brought along on walks if you like. I am a preschool teacher during the day with lots of flexibility in the afternoon for long hikes or bike rides. I will make sure your dog is treated like part of my family!
