As someone’s who’s had dogs all my life, I can confidently say that all dogs are good boys/girls. I was previously a part-time veterinarian assistant in a private clinic, then worked with disabled dogs at UW. I now work as a receptionist at an animal hospital in Portland. My favorite moments are getting to play with puppies in my downtime, and give all pets that come my way the best care that they can receive. I’m extremely passionate about animals and would feel honored to spend time with your pup and love him/her like they were my own. Fun fact: I got my BS in Psychology from University of Washington with an additional certification in Applied Animal Behavior. I'd like to work with retired circus animals in the future as an animal behaviorist/therapist. With my certification, I am qualified to counter-condition your pup or cat from an unfavorable behavior. Does your cat have a problem with marking its territory around the house? Does your dog bark every time someone knocks on the door? These are the types of behaviors I have the knowledge of preventing and training against. Let me know in advance if there is something along these lines that you would like me to work on with your pet. I'd love to get any and all practice! As for drop-bys and dog walking, I am looking to build clientele who trust me to keep their dog(s) safe and happy. I am comfortable walking large breeds such as German shepherds and pit bulls, as well as smaller breeds including corgis and chihuahuas. I am willing to work with your pup if he or she has special needs, and will make sure they get treats and lots of love while they’re with me. I do have two ferrets at home, so as long as you don't mind me stopping by to play with them for ~2hrs midday and a check in at night then it shouldn't be an issue. Besides that, I'm flexible about overnight stays and meeting your pets needs. :)
