I went through extensive training when I first got our 8 year old dog as a puppy. She is a 60 pound dog who is super smart, friendly and loving. When we adopted a second, more challenging dog that was a rescued stray I gained even more dog-handling knowledge than I ever expected! I feel proud of how far we came with our second dog and I feel my experiences with both dogs makes me highly qualified to care for other people's dogs. My kids are older and at school most of the day. It is not our family's plan right now to have me use my Masters degree and get a full time job so caring for dogs is a way I can contribute to our family while still being here when my kids need me. You can count on me to be reliable, honest and caring. ❤️
