I have more than five years handling and training dogs and am knowledgeable of different breeds behavioral traits and temperaments. Volunteering and working at an animal shelter has taught me how to safely administer vaccines and medications,recognize signs of illness in an animal, getting a new animal to open up to me, and gain experience in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Upon request I can preforn basic grooming needs such as bathing, combing, brushing, and blow drying if needed. I have pet-sitted for family members and personal friends for years. I care about giving dogs love, exercise, and mental stimulation. I specialize in working with large breeds, I am a confident leader which they respond well to and it assures the dog. I have a strict work schedule, but given that I have a set schedule for a year, I can plan around it for appointments.
