I can never remember a time that I was not passionate about animals, especially dogs. Dogs (and cats!) are very therapeutic creatures who will always offer unconditional love, and thus deserve the same. I have a background of professional dog grooming and worked in a salon giving baths + nails + haircuts (ask me about nail trims!!) for about 5 years. I'm used to all breeds of all sizes and I'm attentive to canine behavior and minor health needs, as well as being well versed in dog training through positive reinforcement. I've always sought to better understand pups so I can meet their needs with love and precision. I can communicate through telephone (text or call) or email. All are sent directly to my personal cell phone that I have on me at all times. I regularly check everything, including voicemail. While caring for your pet, I will normally first accompany your dog(s) outside to potty and stretch their legs. I try to make sure they pee and poo before they return back indoors (I don't mind poop-scooping!). Second, I tend to their food/water needs. I love having one-on-one playtime with them, whether it means running around outside, playing with toys, practicing commands, snuggling and giving lots of tummy rubs, or all of the above! Before I head out, I usually take one final visit outside to potty just as an "accident" preventative measure.
