Dog loving animal trainer!

Pet care experience

As a dog owner and animal lover, I love taking care of dogs and would love to help others out who need it! I have always been passionate about animals and have experience with both domestic and exotic animals. I've had and worked with many different types of dogs over the last several years, ranging from toy breeds to larger dogs and all with different temperaments. They definitely make my heart feel full and I couldn't imagine life without a 4-legged furry friend! I grew up in Florida and attended school there for a degree in Zoo Animal Technology. I have worked at a kennel and also went through dog training classes although my current job is training birds for free-flight shows. Even though birds and dogs are very different, we use the same methods of training, based in positive reinforcement. If you decide to have me walk or watch your dog, I would be more than happy to help with basic obedience or even teach some fun tricks! If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs, I can also bring my dog Kevyn with me as she loves to make new friends!

Karena was amazing and accommodating! She took extra time to snuggle and hang out with our sweet Sushi so she didn't feel so lonely during the day! We will definitely use her again!
