I have 5+ years of work & volunteer experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets at animal shelters! I have cared for my dog and 3 cats over the last 6 years, as well as various dogs and cats growing up, and small animals and reptiles! I have vast experience with medical, behavioral, and socialization needs! I have experience with training dogs (clicker training, positive reinforcement training only, house training, leash walking, crate training, basic obedience, and socialization), through work, with my own dog, as well as foster dogs and puppies. I also have experience with clicker training for cats! I’m currently waiting on getting my professional dog training certification in the Spring :) I have experience with a variety of medical needs: senior care, diabetic care, administering medications (both oral and injectable), giving subcutaneous fluids, monitoring vitals, first aid, etc. I have experience with many behavioral needs, as well, including under-socialization, fear, fear-based aggression, resource/food guarding, stranger danger, barrier reactivity, animal reactivity, separation and general anxiety, and high arousal/high energy behaviors. I have cared for dogs of every size ranging from chihuahuas to great danes! I also love cats! I have fostered or cared for many medical and behavioral kitties while working at animal shelters, as well as owning two cats with medical needs! Medically for cats, I can administer medications, subcutaneous fluids, diabetic care, senior care, physical therapy, etc. I also have lots of experience with under-socialized/fearful and overstimulated cats, and can help work with those who are a bit more shy or sassy than others! ***Promo code for $20 off your first booking with me: KARINC84025 ***
