I'm a proud dog-mom of a beautiful 11 year old doberman, Athena, and a 4 year old long haired doxie, Mr. Handsome, and am an avid animal lover with more than 15 years of experience in the pet care industry. I have worked in and managed multiple boarding kennels varying in size over the years, more recently I've worked in veterinary offices as a hospital assistant, and also have a few years under my belt as a dog trainer specializing in basic obedience, behavior modification, and agility for fun, as well as dog & cat grooming. With such vast and versatile experience I have an above average set of skills and expansive knowledge that I love to share! I am available practically 24/7 for overnight sitting, drop-in visits/playtime/potty breaks, walks, trips to the park, transportation (vet, groomer, etc.), PLUS I'm very comfortable with any medication administration (including sub-q fluids, insulin injections and blood glucose monitoring) with difficult to medicate pets being my specialty. Additionally, I offer grooming/personal care services such as: nail trims of cats & dogs, dematting, FULL GROOMING IN MY HOME! Bath, haircut, ear hair plucking, face or beard trims, true veterinary quality ear cleaning, and veterinary quality internal anal gland expression, as well as demos to show you how to do any of it yourself! I'm even willing to share training tips and basics to help you learn how to communicate with your fur-baby better and live more harmoniously. Last minute bookings are OK! I'm comfortable and confident with dogs of all breeds and sizes and readily able to cater to any special needs or requests. I love to take photos of pets and you will get updates regularly! You can rest assured that your pet will be treated as one of my own with someone who has truly turned a passion into a career!
