I have wanted a dog since I can remember, but had to wait until I was out on my own to get one. I am fortunate to have "been owned" by many dogs since then. I love dogs, and truly enjoy spending time with them. I've volunteered for local shelters, fostered and adopted, and of course, have beloved pets of my own. As a teacher, I have the unique opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with my students. My ultimate hope would be that they learn how to have a healthy, reciprocal relationship with their own furry family members. I'm active, healthy, and committed to providing an enriched experience to the dogs I care for. All time spent with pets will center around respectful, intuitive, and humane interaction. I would love nothing more than the opportunity to set your mind at ease, knowing your pets are happy, and lovingly cared for, while you are away.
