Pet care experience
I have had dogs ever since I was a little kid! They have ranged from cute 25lb corgis to 150lb newfoundlands! Big or small, I am incredible comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and backgrounds! Walking, feeding, bathing, blowdrying, administering medicine, trips to the vet or park, are all things I have done for siblings, parents, friends, and neighbor's pets. I am also incredibly patient. I have done many training classes with my own pets when they were young so I know the foundations for puppy training, and I have also had many family pets that became seniors. I truly love them all, and they deserve as much attention and care as any other pet.

The most important thing to me is that every pet feels safe, comfortable, confident, and loved because they deserve that and more! With my own two dogs that have completely different personalities and needs, I know that each dog has its own quirks and ways it requires support to be his/her best self! I am more than comfortable coming to someone else's home so they are in a familiar space, and I am also comfortable taking them on walks or a little adventure to get out and about! I also never make assumptions about any animal. Your pet will have my utmost attention to make sure it is safe in my hands!
Information Hilary J. would like to know about your pet
Not every human is the same, and I think it is silly to think all dogs are the same. Each have their own quirks and I want to be mindful of their needs, preferences, strengths, areas they are working on, etc so that I can provide the most positive experience for the dog and its owner! So, it is helpful to know how they do with people, how they are on a leash, things they may be frightened of, things they love, and their routine as well!
A typical day
I am a huge fan of Marcella Smith Park to get all of the sniffs and exploring in! I am very active so I go multiple times a week! I also love playing fetch, working on our basic commands like sit, down, place, stay, and other commands that keep their brains working! Regular walks around the neighborhood are great as well to get their noses working and grab some sunshine and fresh air!

I recently shut down my full-time photography business of 6 years to step into a new and simpler season of life! I live at home with my two dogs and husband, and I love having the time to support them, take care of them, and give lots of training and love to my own pups ! Every day we go on some sort of adventure, take multiple walks, and work on indoor training as well. My husband works from home, so leaving them to take care of your fur baby is no issue at all! My daily schedule is incredibly open so whether your pet needs a drop in visit, more time to get some energy out or have some companionship, I would love to be of service!
