I was raised with dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages, starting with the family dog, a Rottweiler named Apollo. I've raised and cared for many dogs, mostly those of friends, relatives and neighbors, from miniature pinschers and chihuahuas to high energy shepherds. I reward good behavior and encourage training cues to reinforce learning. I am very familiar with dog habits, cues, behaviors and preferences and take special care in recognizing and eliminating any stressors to pups I care for. I have access to a fenced in dog park on premises as well as Tobin park with miles of running and hiking trails. I provide last-minute availability and can provide care for extended stays. I also provide light grooming. I am available most weekends and can make accommodations for special requests. Please contact me about your pet care needs!
