Hello! I have over 30 years experience loving and working with dogs. From raising puppies to behavioral training, agility and showing, there's not much I haven't done! I've spent a lot of time educating myself on what dogs need and how to think like a dog. I would like to share my time and knowledge with your beloved four-legged family member. My extensive background allows me to accommodate the particular needs of dogs of any age, from young puppies all the way to the geriatric/golden years. Since being home alone is no fun and can lead to boredom and destructive behaviors I understand how important it is for your pet to have physical and mental stimulation. I love being outdoors and hiking the beautiful areas we are blessed to have in Santa Cruz with my Jack Russells and would love to share walking time with your pet too. I'm passionate about training of my own dogs and believe any dog can be taught almost anything through methods of positive reinforcement! When entrusted with the care of your pet I hold safety as a top priority, always keeping them leashed and supervised. I would love the opportunity to share my time and passion for all things dog with you and yours and give them the care they deserve while you're away.
