Your pup is family. I pride myself on providing love, knowledge, and care that exceeds your expectations. I'm thrilled to serve you and your fur babies. I love your kids as much as I have loved my own!! Check out the sweet pup I'm sitting right now on IG @speakfluentdog I have a perfect reliability rating and a long list of happy, grateful pawrents. Please reach out for a complimentary meet and greet, with no obligation, to assess if I’m the right sitter for you. R+ positive reinforcement philosophy is how I care for pups. I request that aversive tools such as prong or ecollars be removed when dogs are in my care. It was my privilege to have fostered and adopt an extremely abused and reactive dog with layered behavioral issues. I spent two years 24/7 rescuing, rehabilitating, and training him using force-free techniques. The love and trust we shared by giving him structure, skills, and choice will forever change my life. With this approach and experience I have the ability to bond deeply with your babies. And I understand how difficult it is to leave them with someone you don’t know. My heart is committed to helping you be able to work, vacation, or step away with complete peace of mind that your kid(s) receives the best possible care, love, and attention they deserve while you're away. I know you need to have rich life experiences and while you're away know that their unique needs, desires, and schedule are met. I studied with a top positive reinforcement trainer skilled in shaping challenging behaviors. Under her expertise, I learned to speak fluent "doggie language". This essential communication skill allows me to offer new, enriching and custom care unique to their personality. Sometimes that's lots of snuggles and the belly rubs they crave. It might be important to sit in a more calm, restful space without external noises that can create anxiety. Or giving your pup space to sniff and get to know their surroundings and a new sitter. Play, exercise, mental and physical enrichment are always important, plus I can support what you've trained and also teach or strengthen desirable behaviors that you've been working on. Every kid is special and unique. I love learning their language to deepen trust and build a special bond. They always tell me what they need. I'm honored and excited to meet your sweet fur babies so you can enjoy time away with total peace of mind knowing someone cares as much as you do. And will ask all the right questions to fill in the blanks of what I don’t know about them.
