I have had dogs for over ten years, and I believe in care for life. I have done post surgical, special needs, and end-of-life care for pets where I feel that the labor of love is worth every second. I have managed the puppy chewing years, endless energy days, medication many times a day, special diet needs, the struggle to bathe, and the difficult to sleep nights. I love taking dogs outside to run or just lay in the sun. Tracking medication, calories, or toys is no problem. I have never worked in a salon but maintenance grooming including baths, brushing, and nail trims are all parts of the pet care experience. I am available most days for walks and day care especially the weekends since I work from home most days and will be there to manage pet needs. I am willing to work around behavior issues such as barking, attempting escape, chewing, needing constant attention, not being completely house trained, digging, and searching for treats as long as there is advanced warning so I can prepare.
