CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL ANIMAL CARE PROVIDER (DOGS & CATS) Hi. My name is Daphne and I love animals. Working with animals is my dream job! I have many years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter. I have worked with all breeds and kinds of dogs and cats, from energetic and playful to senior, rescues and pets with special needs. Every dog and cat has a unique personality and I enjoy meeting and working with new dogs and cats all the time. I will be a loving and reliable companion to your pets when you aren't available. I am very responsible and reliable. I have sought out several certifications to test my skills and experience, and to make sure I am providing the highest level of care. I am a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider (CPACP) with PACCC (Professional Animal Care Certification Council), and I am a Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) with Pet Sitters International (PSI). I have a Certificate of Completion of Cat and Dog First Aid including CPR. I also am a Fear Free Certified Professional (Fear Free Elite), and I have a Certificate of Completion from the Fear Free Shelters Program. Their mission is to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS) in pets (both dogs and cats) by inspiring and educating the people who care for them. I am also certified by IBPSA as a Canine Care Specialist and a Feline Care Specialist. For almost two years, I volunteered walking dogs at the San Diego Humane Society for several hours each week. This gave me hands on experience with hundreds of wonderful dogs that I wouldn't have been able to work with otherwise. I also volunteered walking dogs and socializing puppies, cats, and kittens for over a year at Helen Woodward. I was a Red level dog handler-requiring the highest level of skills on their yellow, orange and red scale. I treat all animals with love and respect as if they were my own. I have hands-on training experience with many dogs and am actively training my dog, Roxy, toward the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen certification. I am also currently pursuing my professional dog trainer certification through the Victoria Stilwell Academy. Making sure your pets are safe, happy and healthy is my priority. Let me know if you have a special situation and I can easily customize a rate for you. I want you to feel completely comfortable with me so contact me and we can meet soon.
