Loving Dog Dad

I’ve had dogs since I was roughly 7 years old. Currently have 5 of my own ranging from a Belgian Mal to a little ball of fur Shih Tzu. I’ve been lucky enough to train dogs for a living, with over 10 years of experience in the field. I will love your animals as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and fulfillment will always be my goal I do have completely open availability. I can provide everything from walks, drop ins, feeding, enrichment, and everything in between. For clients that prefer it, I am also happy to provide update pictures and videos. I have 14 years in pet care ranging from working at doggy day cares as well as individual training/ group class training. Whether your loved companion needs 10 minutes or multiple hours, I am more than happy to provide the service you need.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I only offer at the clients home. I just feel that it is best for the pet that they are not pulled into an environment they are unfamiliar with. Wether your dog needs enrichment, snuggle time, ball throwing sessions, walks, feeding, simple potty breaks, whatever your loved companion needs, I am able to provide happily.

Schedule

I am currently training clients independently, so I am able to fit in pet sitting anytime due to my flexible schedule. It’s a great bonus of working for yourself. I have complete and open availability. Wether your companion requires 5 minutes, or 5 hours, I have the ability to accommodate happily.

If you could let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks for example your dog has some hind end discomfort, needs to be fed a certain way, has a habit of leash climbing/ biting the leash etc. Just some things that can be discussed! Nothing is a deterrent for me. I am happy to work will all ages, sizes, and personalities/
