NOTICES -Booking dates that include any dates between April 4-8 2026 will be charged holiday rates for Easter for the entire duration of the booking, just as Rover does for federal holidays. - I provide visits and walks between 7am-7pm and will rarely accept bookings outside these hours. There will be an additional surcharge depending on how far outside these hours your request is. -for apartment complexes with a gate, I start the timer once I reach the gate, so be sure gate codes are correct or you're ready to buzz me in when I arrive! -I do not accept bookings where other people will be in the house during the booking, it is a big liability for me. Exceptions are made with housekeepers, maintenance crew, etc. - Please ensure your pet is up-to-date on vaccines and flea prevention. - I serve areas within 7 miles of the Hair Crown and Beauty Supply on Airline. I can sometimes accomadate bookings outside this radius, but there will be an additional travel fee. - For extended absences, I can water plants, feed fish, and bring in mail at no extra cost. I grew up on a Montana ranch, surrounded by Australian shepherds, chickens, cats, and more. A professional dog trainer since 2016, I've worked with various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments in both behavioral and medical settings. I'm experienced with nervous, reactive, and fearful animals, and use only force-free, positive reinforcement methods. I never hit, yell at, or get frustrated with pets. My goal is to improve the bond between people and their dogs. Although I typically don't offer training on Rover, I occasionally make exceptions. Please inquire for pricing and availability. I grew up with many cats and understand their body language and behaviors, which differ from dogs. I use feline-oriented positive reinforcement techniques. My own cats can sit, lie down, spin, high five, and come when called! I have two years of experience as a vet tech, with a special interest in nutrition, behavior modification, and orthopedic medicine. While I can't give medical advice, I can advise when to involve a vet and what to potentially expect. I'm certified in pet CPR and first aid by the American Red Cross, which no longer offers the program, but I am still capable of performing CPR or first aid if needed. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience with fish. I've kept fish since 2017 and worked at a fish store for three years, maintaining tanks from 0.5 gallons, to 650 gallons, both freshwater and saltwater. I enjoy growing plants and keeping nano critters like shrimp, snails, crabs, and amphipods. I currently work at a fish store and have 14 tanks at home (that aren't empty!). I charge $10 per visit to feed a tank and $1 per gallon for water changes, using my own maintenance kit, up to 20 gallons. Larger or complex tanks may cost more; please inquire for pricing. I also have some experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, tarantulas, scorpions, and more. While less experienced with these, I'm open to caring for them and being educated. Most exotic pets cost $10-$25 per visit, depending on their care requirements and how many there are. Please inquire for pricing. Before leaving each visit, I ensure pets have food, water, and bathroom breaks, and that they have been physically exercised and mentally stimulated, so that they're relaxed and tired once I leave. As a worrier, I always double and triple-check kennel latches and door locks before I go!
