ME Military family, life long experience with animals, volunteer, previously a groomer.(everything but haircuts!) Worked with a trap-neuter-release program for feral cats in Hawaii as well as volunteering at sanctuaries and shelters. I currently volunteer with metro animal services. Own a young cat and a large malinois girl, they're both wonderful troublemakers. Currently testing out boarding & daycare services. CATS Having owned cats all my life I know they run the gamut as far as personalities go. From playful kittens to nervous rescues I've had experience with them. I'll work to give your cats the individual care and attention they need. DOGS I've worked with dogs both large and small for several years. I WILL always clean up after your dog, its important to keep the neighborhood clean. I enjoy taking photos of and giving them the individual attention they need whether it's play, affection, or training. I'm experienced in positive reinforcement and aversion training. (spray bottles go a long way!) I can work with your dog's manners and basic obedience on walks (including pulling) or visits upon request. Pets are family and I will treat them like my own while we are together. DAYCARE & BOARDING My home is cleanly but lived-in, dogs allowed on furniture. Mealtimes are scheduled, I don't offer grazing. Our back yard is small but perfect for catch, chasing, and zoomies. Its picked up regularly and I'll be working back there frequently this summer. I enjoy the challenge of teaching dogs new tricks and am happy to work on any behavior training with you. Ideally a playful dog who doesn't mind a cat and likes companionship, naps, and treats would fit best. *No boarding is available for cats*
