Since I was twelve years old, my family has had dogs, cats, and fish. Being the primary caregiver for the family pets while growing up provided excellent training in foundational care such as feeding, grooming, waste clean-up, regular walks, and playing with both dogs and cats. As the family pets have aged, they have developed health conditions that have given me extensive experience administering oral medication, insulin injections, and IV drip infusions. I have also frequently cared for the pets of many coworkers and customers over the past eleven years. While I enjoy caring for animals of all personality types, I find working with anxious or “unfriendly” pets the most rewarding. I often find these dogs and cats are perfectly capable of behaving and tolerating new people when treated with patience, calmness, and confidence. I subscribe to Cesar Milan’s philosophies of dog training and apply many of his techniques, such as No Touching, No Talking, No Eye Contact when meeting new dogs. These methods have yielded great success, especially with high anxiety animals. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your pets and provide care that makes everyone feel safe, relaxed, and confident.
