I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, growing up with breeds of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. From an energetic German Shorthaired Pointer who needed structure and consistency, to a retired, injured Rottweiler who required gentle care, patience, and awareness of physical limitations, I’ve learned how different every dog’s needs can be. I’ve also cared for a small but strong-willed Schnauzer who was loyal and protective, as well as a large, laid-back Sheepadoodle who loved affection and slow days. These dogs are family to me and through my 22 years of loving them I have become the ultimate dog lover. Beyond my own dogs, I’ve regularly watched friends’ and family members’ pets, giving me experience adapting to new routines, homes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable leash walking, reinforcing basic training, and maintaining boundaries while still making dogs feel safe and spoiled. I’ve helped raise and train my dogs from puppyhood, focusing on consistency, calm correction, and positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my ability to balance genuine love for animals with attentiveness and responsibility. I don’t just enjoy being around dogs—I understand them, respect their differences, and make sure they’re cared for in a way that works best for them.
