About: I've always been told that I have great energy and bring a calming presence. I have cared for multiple dogs and cats of all ages my whole life. Because of my Marine Corps training, I am always prepared to handle any situation. I think quickly on my feet and stay aware of my surroundings at all times. I'm 6'5" but I'm not afraid to get on the ground to make the animal feel more comfortable. My connection to the present moment allows me to create a unique bond with every animal I meet. Whenever I walk or sit, the animal is my sole focus. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets on week days or weekends, day or night! I also know of many great dog friendly woodsy walks. Pets are safe with me! I stay in tune with their moods which allows me to meet their needs. I am very respectful of other people's homes, I treat it like it is a sacred space.
