Behavior Specialist & Pet Lover
Pet care experience
Have always had dogs since I was young and I have never met a dog I haven’t fallen in love with. I also have experiences caring for my other pets (a turtle, fishies and parakeets)! Along with this, I have my masters in ABA & I am very knowledgeable about training!
Reviews
Corinne is wonderful with all types of dogs. She is very compassionate and kind but can handle any situation that comes up. She has a great background in behavior management which really comes in handy with pets. Above all, she loves animals and treats pets and owners very respectfully, considering their needs and what makes them feel comfortable.
Corinne is an incredible pet caregiver! She is smart and capable with a variety of pets from dogs to birds. Corinne provides a safe and loving environment to the pets she works with. She is responsible and communicative. We feel very comfortable leaving our dogs with her and they are excited when she is arrives.

Safety, trust & environment
I am located in a great area for dog walking & outdoor adventures. I am in walking distance of the rails to trails and a lake. No fenced in yard, but have long leads to tie dogs that enjoy watching the neighborhood on the porch. My top priority is for your pet to be happy, relaxed, and engaged! My entire career has been caring for children with special needs & behavioral challenges because helping others is my passion. Taking care of your animals will be no different, as it also fills me with joy!

Information Corinne P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any special preferences or needs that your furry friend has! I know leaving mommy/daddy can be difficult for both pet and parent, so give me all the details you can! The more I know, the more I can do to make everyone comfortable & happy! ? Important details include: *Typical feeding schedule — Is there anything you sprinkle on their food that the dog enjoys? Do you add water? — Do you add any medication to the food? — Any signs of food aggression or possession, especially with other dogs present * Energy level, typical exercise routine, or walk schedule? — Is there a certain phrase you say to help the dog feel comfortable to go to the bathroom? — Does the dog pull when leashed on walks? How does your dog do with another dog walking beside him/her? — Can your dog be off-leash on hiking trails? — How does your dog behave when cuddled, carried, or snuggled? — Does your dog scratch, bite, chew, dig, or have any other behaviors that may cause property destruction? * Special Needs — I have been working with individuals with special needs and significant behavioral challenges, so I will be keen to love & care for doggies that can be a little fresh! Do not be afraid to tell me about any “bad behavior” because this will rarely deter me when accepting to care for your dog. I will ask some questions regarding the dogs disposition. I will also always communicate ways in which I may intervene if there is any issue prior to my adventure with your furry friend! ? — As always, give me all details regarding medical issues, providing medication, or even little aches, pains, or unusual behavior that you suspect is impacting your dogs health & well-being ?
A typical day
I love to exercise dogs both physically with a walk, fetch, a hike, dog park, or tug of war - depending on the preference & signs of enjoyment. As a behavior specialist, I also enjoy stimulating the mind! I have the most experience with “working dogs” and it is important for them to feel as though they have a purpose or a “job.” No matter the breed, I think that dogs aim to please & I capitalize on this by stimulating their mind with different directives in order to get their favorite treat!

I will be studying for my board exam to become a BCBA, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your loved ones! 😊 Sometimes I may have 1 my own dog with me and 2 children under the age of 12. I will always communicate this prior to providing service!
