I am a life-time dog and cat owner who has worked with high risk animals in shelters, helped raise litters, and have pet-sit all over the Salt Lake valley (references available). I'm quite active, know all the best canine-friendly canyon hikes and have no issue cleaning up messes if you've got a puppy or senior animal. My approach to animals is calm but commanding, I believe in positive reinforcement, and creating an environment tailored to each animal's needs and comfort. I will follow any special instructions given to the letter, ensuring a safe quality experience. I also love to cook, including healthy pet treats (given only with permission of course)! It would be a joy to care for your furry friend, and make your schedule a little less ruff. ;)
