Specializing in safe attentive care

Pet care experience

I have been caring, boarding, training, grooming and occasionally breeding dogs for 30 years. I volunteer at my local shelter, working and training with emphasis on shy and fearful dogs. I stay current with dog behavior and training research. I am certified in CPR, Geriatric dogs, Difficult Dogs, and Hair and Skin, as I also groom dogs and cats here in my home salon. I have hosted over 200 dogs in my home. I consider myself an expert in dog body language and understand their special needs and peculiarities. I provide a quiet, safe, loving and chemical free environment for all dogs and provide beds, blankets, bowls, toys and even make custom coats and/or blankets/pillows for my doggy guests. I have a doggy camera that lets me keep in touch with their every movement. In my home I provide the latest in air conditioned/heated environment with large enriching, outdoor play and exercise areas for every dog.
