** NOTE: I've had many, many repeat boardings, but we usually go off the app once I've developed trust with owners. This explains why my repeat score is so low** I currently work as a dog trainer & am flexible with bookings! The companionship of a dog is one of my biggest joys. If you choose me as your caretaker you can expect (1) cute photos of your furry-fam-member and (2) playtime at our local dog park. I’m a full-time dog trainer who specializes in animal behavior so I have experience with a lot of different dog temperaments & breeds! I’ve worked with extremely timid to more reactive dogs! I absolutely LOVE our four-legged friends. Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the house so from a young age I was very comfortable around dogs. We always had large breeds so I’m not intimidated by larger dogs at all. My love for dogs has transformed into a very rewarding career that I’m extremely grateful for! I have a very calming energy and as a result, dogs (and even cats) tend to naturally gravitate towards me. Although there are many techniques for training/caring for a dog, I only use positive reinforcement practices. I will never scare your dog into listening to me! Patience is what I lead with and I’d love to help care for your dog(s), whether it’s in your home or mine! ***NOTE: while my rates may be higher, I am always open to discussing and finding a fair rate that aligns with your dog’s specific needs. Whether your furry friend requires extra attention, specialized care, or any other specific requests, I am committed to providing the highest level of service. Your pets comfort and welfare are my top priorities!
