I strive for dogs to spend their energy before they get home while having fun, and learning basic obedience like leash walking. I have experience caring for dogs of all size, energy level, and age. I love figuring out what what gets them going and will give them individual attention. I grew up in Brazil in a house full of dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and birds. My mom loves to remind me how I argued with her about our birds and let them loose. Since I moved away to the US in 1996 I've been pet sitting for friends for my dog fix while I worked in engineering, marketing and manufacturing mostly in automotive and tech industries. Then 2008 burned out from the corporate world I decided to work in pet care full time and became a Registered Veterinary Technician. I have experience working with behavior both in and out of clinical settings. I have a well socialized chihuahua mix that may join occasionally if it's ok with your pet.
