❤️ Veteran Who Loves Fur Babies

Hi! I’m a proud U.S. military veteran and retired dog lover with three German Shepherds (ages 2, 6, and 12) of my own. Living with Shepherds in every life stage has made me very comfortable with large, high-energy breeds and working dogs — from playful young adults to senior companions. I specialize in drop-in visits only, which include: • Potty breaks • Feeding & fresh water • Medication if needed • Playtime & enrichment • Lots of affection and attention As a veteran, I value reliability, consistency, and calm leadership — qualities that dogs respond to and owners appreciate. Raising and caring for German Shepherds has taught me the importance of structure, confidence, and patience, especially with intelligent, strong-willed breeds. I especially welcome: • German Shepherds • Large and working breeds • Puppies under one year • High-energy dogs As a retiree, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, consistent care. I intentionally keep my client list small so each dog receives the attention and reliability they deserve. Your dog will be treated with patience, respect, and genuine care — just like my own. I’d love to meet you and your pup!
