I am an avid animal lover! I have had dogs all my life and currently have 2 chihuahuas, Dash & Milo. I absolutely adore them, they are my babies. When I travel, I know how hard it is for me to leave them at a doggy "hotel" as I don't think they will get the loving attention I want them to have. Because of that, I am so grateful when my neighbor can drop by and let them out, feed them ,and play with them in their own, peaceful environment. I see such a difference in their behavior, when I get back, when they are able to stay home versus going to a doggy hotel! They are more relaxed and act like themselves. I dog sit for friends and family whenever I can, because I know it is a better experience for their pets. I'm also an active volunteer at Wayside Waifs. I volunteer my time to walk dogs. I recently became part of the Confidence College team which is a group at Wayside Waifs that go through specific training to help rehabilitate shy and fearful dogs, so they can eventually be able to be adopted. It's been a truly heartwarming experience! Because of my time at WW, I've been exposed to all sorts of different sizes, breed, and personalities and have complete confidence in handling them.
