Pet care experience

Animal lover 💜 Dog trainer 💛 SAHM

I’ve loved taking care of animals my entire life! I’ve grown up around pets and farm animals. At age 12 I started volunteering at a rescue shelter & began handling all sorts of dogs, all with their own personalities, of course. I quickly brought my work home and began fostering, then eventually foster/training each & every dog I felt confident in teaching . Nothing brings me more joy in life than hanging out with a good, happy dog or 2 :) Throughout my career as a dog handler I have worked almost every branch of dog care work you could think of. From teaching basic manners and in depth behavioral training, to giving tours mushing sled dogs, scent detection training for Arizona Police Departments as well as their Search & Rescue teams, agility training, AKC show ring handling & grooming, husbandry, vet tech & medical/clinical experience- both at the vets office, and at a working dog herding farm, and I was fully trained to work as a groomer for about 8 months. And of course, most dear to my heart is working with and caring for rescue dogs. I always seem to connect most with the dogs who struggle to find their manners. Majority of the interactions I’ll have with your pup during their stay will be mini-training sessions for them that will build our bond and stimulate their natural drive to please their handler :) I love training dogs - Specifically high drive, working breeds! I love working with animals and it’s the field I will work in for the rest of my life. I have always been surrounded by multiple dogs and I wouldn’t prefer it any other way!

Karma took good care of our Eloise. She is a good communicator and very attentive to dogs needs. Will use her service again.

Baker and Archie loved their stay!! I felt totally comfortable being away from them even though I had never boarded them anywhere before! We really appreciated the updates while we were gone too. Thank you for taking such good care of our boys! Will definitely be coming back!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in grassy back yard, security cameras around my home, and large rooms your dogs can make themselves at home in. I also live on a low traffic street and close to multiple parks I could take your dog on walks to. I have multiple extra large kennels, and nice comfy dog beds for your dog to use during his stay.

Pets

A typical day

I have a fenced in acre behind my house that the dogs love to run around and play in. My favorite things to do with my dog friends include frisbee games, fetch with a ball, or engaging enrichment activities to get to know them better and begin strengthening a fun but trusting & reliable relationship with one another.

Let me know if your dog needs a dedicated & private boarding space, free of the stress of being reactive to other animals or the sight of children. I love dogs of all shapes & sizes and I can manage a pup of any age, breed, size or temperament. My home is equipped with baby gates and closed doors, so if necessary, I can meet your dog’s preference for a living space, free of other dogs and children, to nap, play, eat, roam or chill how they want to; safely, freely and comfortably. - Please, include any important details ahead of time needed to best meet the needs of your dog/s while in my care, so I can best prepare their space for them.
