Welcome to Empowered Dog sitting : I am a full time dog sitter, walker, and trainer. Currently I have one dog, a seven year old German Shepherd rescue who is still full of energy. It is all thanks to him that I found a passion for dog training and ended up in this industry. Because I’ve worked with multiple trainers with my own dog, I am well versed in many different styles of dog training. I have shadowed leaders in the industry learning about dog behavior and working with many different breeds and temperaments. I am constantly learning more and investing my time, energy, and money into training so I can be the best dog sitter, walker, and trainer for your canine. I have over 15 years of experience working with animals including but not limited to Dogs, Cats, Birds, and Rabbits. I have also completed Rover 101 for pet care best practices and successfully passed Rovers background check. Please check out my reviews to hear from my past & current clients! My services include dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. You can probably guess I’m a sucker for German Shepherds since adopting mine. I've fallen in love with the breed. Because of this I find many clients reach out to me who need an experienced handler with large breed dogs like German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, etc. AND I still love working with the smaller breeds! I have experience with dogs who are reactive on leash, and need lots of structure and awareness. I am experienced in using many different tools like slip leash, prong, ecollar and if your dog is more simple that is GREAT as well! I am happy to accommodate what the owner needs and uses. Many high energy dog breeds need lots of attention and training to wear them out! Just request a structured walk, this will include us practicing door manners, leash manners, and we can even work on “place”. I am here to help make dog ownership easier on you, so let's work together to set you and your dog up for success! For in-home dog sittings you can bet I will do some fun training with your dog so they not only get physical exercise but also mental exercise.
