“Kyia did amazing with Kila! Even though my baby is not a baby anymore she can be a sassy old girl. She was great with her. Her report cards were great to read while I was on vacation (and the pics too).”


About: Animal care is the focus of my professional life as well as my personal life. I’ve been caring for, training, and loving dogs and horses since I was a boy. I believe only in positive reinforcement and patience. Animals WANT to please their owners. They just need to be taught how. I’m available weekdays and can make almost any time work to fit your schedule! I’m available weekends, but the schedule is a little tighter for child care reasons. For walks, I like to take dogs to undisturbed stretches of land or trails to hone their leash training and stamina. When training a dog commands, I use my own property which is void of distractions.

About: I have had pets since I was a little girl. I have learned how to handle dogs and take care of them. I groomed my poodle, lhasa apsos and shih tsu since 1980. My dogs are deceased now and instead of getting any others I would love to help pet owners who need some time away or just need someone to help out from time to time. Many days I will be free to care for small dogs. I attend church on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. I also will be traveling and doing missions work. I will use a leash to be sure your pet is safe while outside. When I am caring for someone else's animal I will be with it at all times. I can care for them at my home or yours.
