I've owned, loved, rescued and cared for dogs since I was a little girl, and as an adult, I've volunteered and worked with dogs in the boarding, sitting, daycare, and shelter environments. I'm certified in pet CPR and first aid, and my own dogs have inspired me to become knowledgeable in the human-animal bond, positive-reinforcement learning techniques in animals, and ways to reduce stress and anxiety in dogs who are away from their owners. I own my home with a fully fenced backyard, and doggies in my care can have plenty of walks in our dog-friendly neighborhood. I have plenty of experience with special needs animals and love caring for senior and special needs dogs.
