Throughout my youth and early adulthood, I competed heavily in AKC and 4-H dog shows around the country. With 10 years training dogs and a lifetime of experience in care and grooming, I am a dog lover through and through. Now, as a UW graduate with a part-time job, I am looking to help the local community by caring for their dogs. Through my participation in 4-H, we received in-depth dog health and safety training from a licensed veterinarian. I received additional training as a grooming assistant at Petco. I feel happy and comfortable around all breeds and temperaments, and stay attentive to the dog's body language for signs of distress. Personally, I own a Bedlington Terrier named Simon, and a Siberian Husky named Roo. Connect with me to gain a new friend for your dog!
