I've been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. In fact, I wrote a persuasion letter in 4th grade to my parents about why I needed a dog (and it worked!!). I've been obsessed with them ever since, 25 years later! I have a 10-year-old dog of my own (who stays at home while I visit other dogs) and understand that every dog is different. My dog is anxious, so I'm especially patient with nervous or shy pups. If your dog needs a few extra minutes to warm up, some treats, a calm presence, or a slower introduction, I'm happy to move at their pace and earn their trust. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs like Dobermans and Newfoundlands, and I'm comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra exercise, playtime, or simply a reliable friend while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
