Pet care experience

I have had the privilege of caring for my German Shepherd, Rex, for three years, which deepened my passion for working with animals. Over the past 5 years, I have also gained extensive experience through Rover, specializing in dog training, behavioral corrections, and structured care. My expertise includes addressing common challenges such as excessive barking, leash pulling, aggressive tendencies, and uncontrolled anxiety. I work closely with pups and pet parents to ensure continuity in the care and training methods their pets are accustomed to or can develop. I also work with other sitters to learn more about certain situations and how I may better myself as care giver and teacher!

David was great watching Koda for doggy day care. I appreciated him going out of his way to engage with him with walks and training during the 4 days he watched him. Koda was comfortable with him instantly and was excited every time I dropped him off. Also appreciated all of the updates and feedback during the day. Definitely kept me at ease. Will reach out again whenever we’re in need of doggy day care again!

Thank you David for making Argos feel safe and happy during his first long stay away from home. We had peace of mind knowing he is with you during our vacation.
