I was born around and was raised with dogs of all breeds. The first dogs I ever knew were best friends, a Labrador mutt and a German Shepherd puppy. I've been the proud family member of two beautiful Great Danes, an energetic Cocker Spaniel, a sweet and loving Bichon Bolognese, and more than a few mixed breeds. From a young age I loved being around dogs, and dogs love being around me as well. It's not uncommon for a dog who normally isn't fond of strangers to be my best friend within the hour. Family members and family friends have asked on numerous occasions for me to board their dogs and/or check in on them (take them for walks, let them out to use the bathroom, and play with them). The dogs always leave content, and their owners feel safe with me looking after their loved pets. I'm available during the week for walks and check-ins, as well as overnight stays if you're on vacation or if there's some sort of short-notice emergency. My weekends can be sporadic, so I'll need ample notice beforehand so that I can mark the day off of my calendar.
