I am a small business owner in Portland with a very flexible schedule and a love for pets. With a degree in psychology, my passion is in behavioral psychology -- humans and animals alike. I have spent extensive time training my own pets (cats included) and do not currently have a dog, but would love to pamper yours! I have worked in psychology-based settings teaching young children, and am a huge supporter of Applied Behavioral Analysis, the benefits of positive reinforcement, encouragement, and a loving and caring environment -- all useful methods in working with pets as well. I am very nurturing and responsible, and my top priorities will be your pup's safety and happiness in my care.
