Care for Anxious & Reactive Dogs

Owning an anxious or reactive dog can make finding care for them difficult and nerve racking. I know this firsthand as an owner of a reactive dog myself. You need someone who understands their unique challenges and quirks. My goal is to provide patient, low-stress care that helps your dog feel safe and allows you to travel with peace of mind. I'm a clinical psychologist by day and do this purely because I enjoy dogs. My background makes paying close attention to behavior and communication second nature to me. While I'm certainly not a dog trainer or veterinary professional, I pride myself on being patient, observant, and respectful of a dog's unique personality and boundaries. Whatever your dog's situation, I'll try to meet you both where you're at so that everyone feels comfortable and confident.

Safety, trust & environment

I always let anxious and reactive dogs get to know me on their terms. I won't pet, touch, or even talk to your pet until I have yours and their consent. I do my best to maintain your dog's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications (if applicable), playtime, and any training or behavior preferences. I understand that every dog is different, so I try to let them set the pace.

Schedule

I work full time so I focus my pet care services on evenings and weekends. This allows me to dedicate my full attention to your pet during the time we're together, whether that's an evening walk overnight care. I'll always be upfront about my availability, so you know your pet is getting my full attention.

I'd like to know anything that will help me make your pet feel safe and comfortable. Please let me know about their personality, routines, triggers, fears, favorite activities, and anything that tends to make them anxious or reactive. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can follow their routine and give good care.
