Canine Behavior Specialist

When you’re away, you deserve the peace of mind of knowing your dog is safe, happy, and receiving exceptional care. That’s exactly what I strive to provide for every dog who stays with me. I’m a certified Canine Behavioral Specialist through Starmark Academy, where I received extensive hands-on education in canine behavior, learning theory, obedience, behavior modification, and animal care. My experience includes working with puppies, high-drive working breeds, family companions, and dogs with behavioral challenges. Whether your dog is already well-trained or needs a little extra guidance, I tailor my care to meet their individual personality, routine, and needs. I currently work on a working cattle ranch with a private boarding and training facility, caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments every day. The ranch provides a secure, structured environment where dogs have space to explore, exercise, play, learn, and relax while receiving individualized attention throughout their stay. To me, every dog is an individual—not just another boarding reservation. My goal is for every guest to leave feeling confident, fulfilled, and excited to come back.

Cay has been absolutely phenomenal. We don’t trust out dog with…. Anyone.. other than my parents. She was amazing at updating us, asking questions and sending pictures regularly. She went above and beyond for our boy. I can’t imagine using anyone else.

Cay was awesome in taking care of my pup! He has some aggression issues so I was nervous leaving him for the first time but she was loving and caring with him and was such a blessing!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and well-being will always come first. Every dog is cared for in a secure, structured environment where supervision, routine, and individualized attention are top priorities. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, comfort level, and needs so they can have a safe, low-stress, and enjoyable experience. As a certified Canine Behavioral Specialist, I’m trained to recognize canine body language and behavior, allowing me to proactively manage interactions and create a positive environment for every guest. My goal is to earn both your dog’s trust and yours from the moment they arrive.

Pets

A typical day

Every stay is personalized to your dog’s routine, personality, and energy level. Whether they enjoy playing, training, exploring outdoors, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I make sure each dog receives the attention and care they deserve. Safety is always my top priority. Dogs are supervised, given appropriate exercise and enrichment, and cared for in a structured environment that encourages both fun and relaxation. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, so you’ll receive regular photo and video updates along with communication throughout their stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete confidence, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and in experienced hands.

The more I know about your dog before their stay, the better I can provide personalized care and create a positive experience from day one. Please share anything that helps me get to know your best friend, including: • Daily routine and feeding schedule • Medications, allergies, or medical concerns • Favorite toys, activities, and rewards • Energy level and exercise preferences • Commands or training cues they know • Any fears, anxieties, or behavioral concerns • How they interact with other dogs, people, livestock, and new environments • Crate training, sleeping arrangements, and comfort items • Anything else that will help them feel comfortable, confident, and at home Every dog is different, and learning about their individual personality allows me to provide the safest, happiest, and most successful stay possible.
