I have worked with and trained dogs for 30+ years even to K9 Good Citizen Certs. Have worked with senior dogs with special care needs. I have cared for cats of all ages and stages of life as well. I have also raised and fostered puppies and kittens from birth up for rescue shelters, even those with special needs.🐾 I have flexible hours and can accommodate your scheduling needs. I am familiar with the whole valley and its unique desert environment as I have lived here for over 35yrs🐾 Each friend needs careful understanding and introduction of who they are uniquely to be most successful and form trust just like any family member. I have a pack of five rescue dogs, one rescue kitty and two finches.🐾 I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to take care of and love on your pet and family member with the utmost attention to their unique needs. For a client's home, I will be with the pet at all times to ensure they are safe, loved on, and well cared for during my stay. I carry a dog safety pouch with me that contains the necessary items for first aid, extra treats, a ball and laser pointer, training squeakers for attention, poop bags, extra leash, water, etc. In addition, I have extra items in my vehicle if needed, including, but not limited to the items listed in my pouch, blankets, (L) shoes for hot pavement, water, paper towels, leads, etc. However, due to our extreme weather conditions, I tend to keep all pets inside during the hotter months to ensure their safety. We play inside and visit outside for potty breaks.
