I’ve been a Rover sitter (and the best dog aunt) for many years. I adopted my first dog 7 years ago after growing up with pets. I LOVE all animals, and truly delight in being The Dogmom. During the pandemic, I thought I’d try again and ended up with an anxious, reactive, poorly behaved Australian Shepherd who needed more love and patience than I expected. I had to quickly learn how to train and socialize him, as he was a total mess — couldn’t walk, lunging at people and dogs, nipping at strangers. Within a few months I had my dream dog. Within 3 years I have a dog who is calm, loved, and confident who started out difficult and aggressive. Why am I sharing this? Because no matter what your pets needs are, I can handle them. I can get your dog to stop pulling on walks. I can get your dog to feel safe and calm in public settings. I can build trust with an anxious dog and teach them basic commands that make your life easier. I’ve learned from experience how to handle ANY dogs needs, even when it might be a stressful situation. When your dogs are with me, they are safe, they are loved, and they are treated like my own. You don’t have to worry about escape artists, anxiety, reactivity, or boredom. You don’t have to worry about liabilities or worst case scenarios. I’ve got you.
