“I've never met a dog I didn't want to pet!”
My friends will tell you I have the soul of a Golden Retriever; I'm kind, dependable, even-tempered, and fun to be around (I just don't slobber on the furniture!). My first dog Misty was my best friend, and would often be dressed up in clothes from Build a Bear Workshop! After I graduated from college, I adopted a beautiful auburn Golden Retriever named Max and a Coton de Tulear named Rocky. I would be honored to take care of your pet, even if it's just for 30 minutes!

I've worked with animals as big as bears and as small as tree frogs, but dogs will always hold a special place in my heart. I just love meeting new pups! I have experience working with dogs who are a little more high maintenace than usual, so I am well prepared to take good care of your pal.
