Until January 2022, at which point I became a Stay at Home Parent, I worked as the Shelter Director for the Humane Society of Chittenden County. I also worked directly with the animals in Animal Care for 3 years prior to that position. I have extensive training in cat, dog, and small animal behavior and care. Outside of the professional realm, I have been fortunate enough to share my life with 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I have real life experience with dog to dog and dog to human reactivity and the use of positive reward based training. When it comes to cats; shy, feisty, velcro, talkative, cuddly, or independent… I love them all :) I had to take a break from Rover for a couple of years while my job at the shelter was all consuming along with the birth of my son, but now I have time and capacity to get back at it! I built great relationships with past animal clients and I look forward to getting to do that again!
