While not professionally I have been caring for my own and my mother's dogs for years. I have had dogs my whole life. They aren't something that I own; my pets are a part of the family and are treated as such. All pets are treated with the same love and respect as a child would in my home. I am an independent contractor at all my jobs so my availability is open and by appointment. I have a lot of experience with high maintenance and stubborn pets. I had an Alaskan husky I brushed every day, walked twice a day, I had to feed her on a schedule and away from other pets, she slept in my bed with me and I loved her like a daughter.
