I am a Fear Free certified, full time dog handler. My professional experience has been gained working with local dog daycares, dog boarding facilities, and the SPCA. However, my love of dogs and animal care experience has been a life long passion since childhood. I have always been the go to person when friends need a pet sitter. I get to know the local wildlife and strays everywhere I stay. I can't imagine living a life without loving animals. All dogs respond best to positive reinforcement. All dogs want to feel loved and have choices in how they spend their day. I am trained and highly qualified in reading dog body language. I use this to gain trust with extreme patience, consistency, and genuine warmth the dogs can read in my own body language and tone. Dogs enjoy one on one time with me at their leisure as well as safely guided socializing and play. We can work together on reinforcing positive behavior, or any concerns with your dogs unique personalities! I am excellent with animals who have special needs, administering medications, and elderly pups.
