I am 30 and have worked professionally with dogs for 10 years. I began working in a boarding and daycare facility when I was 18. Since that time I have worked for other kennels as I have moved. I received my training certification in 2010 from Animal Behavior College and volunteered extensively at a shelter in Kansas City. Since that time I have volunteered with numerous rescue groups providing training and foster homes along with many boarding facilities. I currently own Rockford's Academy, a dog training company. I love pet sitting and getting the opportunity to make a dog happy while their parents are away- all the rewards of being the fun aunt :) Experience with pets who have medications/diabetes/special needs. Experience and comfortable with pets who have difficult behavior. PETS AT MY HOME: I have one room mate, a nurse, who loves dogs as much as me. Between the two of us the pets are only solo for a few hours in the day. We have a dog door (however, I close it when we are not home for safety), a fenced front yard, and a nice dog walking neighborhood. We have an extra bedroom for dogs who need a bit more privacy. Our dogs get along well with others and enjoy the company. HOUSE SITTING: I work from home, with appointments throughout the day so your pets won't be left alone for long. I am flexible fitting into your pets routines, watering plants, and any other up-keeps that need done while your away. I specialize in very interesting situations so I challenge you to surprise me :) DOG WALKING: Your dog will not tire me out ;)
