NOTE to my customers: there are a couple of upcoming family events this summer for which I've blocked off my calendar, as well as some anticipated events; to manage this, I'm limiting myself to established customers right now. Please feel free to message me directly with schedule questions. Many thanks! My first job is to make sure your dog or cat is safe and happy. My next job? To make sure they have fun! I am a well-respected health care provider with a flexible schedule, very active, and I have a huge heart for our four-pawed pals. I love how dogs run, play, explore and wag. I've had the privilege of living with dogs for most of the days of my life. Huskies, beagles, goldens and many mixed breed miracles have been part of my pack. I have experience with all ages, including seniors on hospice. On-leash walk training--especially with a food-motivated pup--is a service I can offer. And I will never, ever pull your dog. I would much rather stand there staring at the same exciting blade of grass until it's time to move on to the next one. I'm patient and kind. So your dog can be themselves in a safe, fun and caring environment. I love cats too and have been blessed over the years by three extra special black kitties, Bubby, Felix and Panther. If your cat or dog takes medications, I have experience administering meds, and am adept at special dietary care as well.
