About: I learned to care for animals with dignity and respect on my grandmas farm. I've fostered and owned many dog breeds, mostly large (40lbs or more) I have taken my own dogs to classes where the training is for the humans not the dogs. I've been taught how to interact with dogs and lead them with authority, as well as love and verbal praise. There is nothing better than spending the day outside with the dogs. I'm currently available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and before 1pm the rest of the week. With enough notice I could create more flexibility in my schedule When caring for pets in clients homes I follow their routine. I'm familliar with crate training and I believe the happiest dog is a well exercised dog.

Trisha M.
“Trisha is patient and kind with puppies and older dogs. She is gentle in her approach and thoughtful about special diets and being consistent with treats as positive reinforcement. I would most definitely use her again for any dog walking, dog sitting, or just some extra company for my dogs. She is also very trustworthy coming in and out of the house. I’m highly recommend her!”
