Whoever said dogs are man’s best friend wasn’t lying! Since third grade I've always had a dog in my life--and I can't see myself without one. The companionship they display to their family is amazing. From couch snuggles, to going to dog parks, to playing fetch, and so much more, dogs are my life! I've always had at least one dog in my life. I currently have four of my own and I love them to death. I have fostered dogs from the Humane Society in Winona MN when I was in middle school through High School. It was hard, as I fell in love with every pooch that came through our doors. I ended up even adopting one because we were so attached! I love visiting humane societies in my area now to give the dogs and cats some companionship as well. Since high school, my dream was to open up a pet sanctuary to help those in need, as well as run my own dog daycare in the same area. I've researched everything from humane careers to animal abuse investigator careers, as everything I want to do with my future revolves around these guys! I was raised by my mother who taught me everything about kindness, and that's how I live my life. I treat everyone with respect, including their little loved ones. Communication in life is key, so I will always be available to the family if they need me and I will keep them updated on how the stay is going. Making sure that you and your pup are completely well taken care of is my number one priority, so I’ll be in regular communication with you by way of text and picture messages to let you know how your pup is getting along and what we’ve done for the day. For them, I’m always happy to accommodate their needs and design a stay around what they love doing the best! When it comes to specific policies, I have no breed, size, age, or sex preferences whatsoever. I do like, however, for meet and greets to always be within the dog’s environment. I let them do the investigating on me before I move in. I like to show them I am harmless, usually kneeling down or sitting down with a hand outreached to let them smell and go about questioning. Small talk and affection is guaranteed. I’m sure we’ll become friends in no time!
