About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.

About: I’ve taken care of many of my friends dogs and I recently got a dog of my own. My friends have trusted me to care for their fur babies by walking, feeding and playing with their pets My schedule is completely open at this time. After getting my kids off to school at about 7:30 I have the entire day free to assist with any pet needs. I am always very careful in someone else’s home, I ensure the pets area is tidy before leaving and I like to make sure they are comfortable. When in my home I have designated areas for play and relaxing!

Privacy fence yard, 2 dogs for play time, play a one year old and 7 year old, and a 15 year old for lazy dogs that like to lay in bed. One of our dogs is crated trained where the other is not. So crating is no problem.
