I have been a veterinary technician and manager for 10 years. I love working with animals on a day to day basis. I have a deaf dog myself, so dogs with disabilities are not problem. I do allow the pets to roam free, unless stated otherwise. I've worked with over 1000's of dogs of all temperaments. Shy or nervous rescue dogs are no problem! I have done some dog rehabilitation with behavioral issues and some light training as well as regular walking for clients. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. I have a dog park down the street if that is a part of your dogs routine and grooming supplies on hand if you'd like your dog to be clean and smelling fresh the day they're due to go home. I never stop learning about dogs so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets. I have a wealth of knowledge, experience, tools, and equipment to ensure the best possible stay. I work with pets full time, so it is a natural instinct of mine, to understand their needs. For your pets sleeping or daytime napping arrangements I try to mimic their home routine as much as possible. I am looking forward to meeting you. Please let me know if you have any questions!
