From a young age, one of my greatest aspirations was to learn how to properly train and care for dogs. At just nine years old, I saved my birthday money and—with the help of my parents—welcomed my very first puppy into my life. From that moment forward, dogs have remained a central part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for five dogs, including one beloved companion who is no longer with us. Today, my fur family includes two Shih Tzus, an Australian Cattle Dog, and a Miniature Australian Shepherd. After relocating to Kansas City, I brought my Australian Cattle Dog and Mini Aussie with me. My two Shih Tzus were raised in New York and remain there with family, where they are comfortable in the environment they’ve always known. Needless to say, these animals mean the world to me. They bring immeasurable joy, companionship, and energy into everyday life, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with the care of your pet. I would be honored to care for your dog with the same attentiveness, patience, and integrity that I give my own. In addition to general care, I am well-versed in puppy development, foundational training techniques, and behavioral correction strategies. If your dog would benefit from structured guidance during our time together, I’m happy to incorporate that as part of the experience. My personal dogs do not need to be present during any service. However, if your dog forms a positive connection with one of mine and you specifically request that they join us for companionship during walks or activities, I’m happy to accommodate when appropriate. In those cases, it can create a fun and enriching experience for everyone involved. My goal is simple: to ensure your dog feels safe, engaged, and well cared for—while giving you complete peace of mind.
