I have 28 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a proud parent to a cattle dog mix and a Malaysian street dog (both seniors I've raised since puppyhood), I understand the unique needs pets have at every life stage. My training experience includes basic obedience, house training, and leash training, with particular expertise in reactive dogs and high-energy breeds that need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I believe in positive reinforcement and meeting each pet where they are - understanding their individual personality and needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. I'm comfortable managing multiple pets, administering medications, and handling various situations that may arise. Having cared for both puppies and senior dogs, I'm experienced with the special attention older pets require. My cat experience spans many years, so I'm equally comfortable with feline friends. Whether your pet needs gentle care, structured exercise, or just someone who understands their quirks, I focus on creating a safe, loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
