I pride myself on providing compassionate, dependable, and quality pet care to you and your family. There is nothing more difficult and terrifying than determining who to leave your pets with while you are away. I am here to assist you in making that decision. I am a trustworthy, respectful, dependable, and compassionate individual. I take pride in reassuring pet owners that their pets will receive the up-most respect and care while they are away. With my past experiences in the field, I have the highest level of patience and capability of maintaining a professional image in any situation. As an owner of a 10-year-old Scottish Terrier named Watson, a 3-year-old standard Australian Shepard named Captain, and a 9-year-old mini Australian Shepard named Snickers, I know how difficult and serious the decision to leave them with someone other than yourself can be. The three of them mean the world to me and I am fortunate enough to have help from family and close friends caring for them when I am not around. However, for you this might not be the case. To help aid you in your decision process, allow me to provide a little more detail about myself to help decide if I am a good fit for you and your family. As a child, I grew up with grandparents who not only were professional dog handlers, but also dog show judges, which for me meant becoming familiar with caring and identifying various breeds of dogs at a young age. It was during this period, that I discovered my compassion and enjoyment being around not only animals, but more specifically dogs. Continuing on into becoming an adult, I found myself constantly rehabilitating and re-homing many species of animals from rescuing hamsters, gerbils, and mice to helping to nurse baby raccoons back to health. I have served as a foster mom to many dogs, helped in the raising of litters of golden retriever puppies for therapy dog organizations, and was in a management position for a canine daycare and boarding facility. I have experience with dogs of every breed and size, and I am also very comfortable assisting those dogs who may require special accommodations. I have cared for puppies up to those special elderly oldies who have various impairments. My job is not only to provide you with a sense of security and the knowing that your babies are being well cared for, but that the dogs are feeling a sense of safety and comfortability with myself. I have cared for reptiles, cats, dogs, birds, fish, rodents, etc... if you have more than just a dog that needs caring for, I would love to care for them as well. I am canine first aid/CPR certified, I am experienced with administering medications (orally and intranasal), have experience caring for dogs with various health conditions, and can properly and professionally care for your furry loved ones. When you book a reservation with me through Rover your pet will receive the Rover Insurance and Protection Package, complete with availability for 24 hour vet assistance.
