I am licensed, bonded, insured and certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I have decades of experience in caring for and training dogs and horses, in this time I have raised puppies and have taken on rescues that no one wanted. I know how to care for small animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, parakeets and parrots, gerbils and hamsters. I am an avid tropical fish keeper. All animals in my care are treated with respect and positive reinforcement. I continue to educate myself on dog training and nutrition. I am capable of medicating dogs, cats, rabbits and other pocket pets. I love challenging cats and dogs with puzzles, scent work and snuffle mats, it is amazing to me to watch them work things out. Getting their minds busy and active is incredibly enriching for our companions. Enriching activities are especially good for pets with mobility issues, senior pets who can no longer go on long walks, thrive on one on one work, trick training, treat hunting, gentle playing with toys, the same applies to cats. Just because they can't be as physical any more doesn't mean they shouldn't have enrichment on a regular basis to make their lives meaningful. Of course gentle walks, stretching and massages are beneficial to keeping good muscle tone and encourage flexibility for our senior and mobility challenged fur babies.
