Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with different types of dogs big and small. I have also adopted dogs from the shelter. I pet sit for my parents dogs and friends cats often. I’ve even done drop in visits feeding cats for friends of friends. I’m familiar with working dogs and dogs that are pets. I hope to one day start a breeding program. I am a certified dog breeder. I have an American Kennel Club Dog breeding certification. I also offer meal plans and dietary consultation for pet owners considering switching their dogs to the “barf” diet.

Very reliable, friendly. Berthie took excellent care of Jazz, our English mastiff/Belgian malinoir mix.

My dog always looks relaxed when I get home. There's no better recommendation than that!
