Hi, there! I'm a Californian native who has lived in the city for nine years. I'm a life-long dog owner who grew up with show dogs. My childhood dog was a strictly trained, 45-pound Canaan male - a notoriously stubborn breed, requiring a strong command. My current family pup (a rescued terrier mix) loves to play fetch all day long and runs more freely on the leash so I'm used to keeping him safely out of traffic. He isn't a city dog so he remains on the West Coast and I miss his happy presence every day! I'm happy to adhere to any rules or routines you have for your animal, keeping life as normal as possible while you're away. With a flexible schedule and passion for animals, I would love to channel all my puppy love toward your family's best friend! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
