I am a lifelong animal lover and a professional, dog training coach with over 40 years of deep, hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of every size. My journey with animals began with having a cat sleeping in my crib with me, but my passion expanded in my twenties when I got my first dog. That milestone sparked a lifelong commitment to researching canine health, nutrition, behavior, and advanced care.I love animals and feel a special bond with them. I spent years volunteering with an English Mastiff rescue and working directly within local animal shelters. Having personally raised two English Mastiffs and a Pitbull mix, I am comfortable, confident, and experienced with giant breeds and powerful non- aggressive dogs.Today, I run my own virtual dog training business, where I design custom behavior and obedience plans to help owners teach their dogs basic canine good manners. This professional background means your pet will be under the supervision of someone who truly understands canine body language, positive reinforcement, and behavioral safety.In addition to my training business, I regularly pet-sit for friends and family. I am highly experienced in handling special medical needs, including administering oral medications and eye drops to dogs, and cats that take medication easily. I currently share my home with two cherished cats Max and Oliver and am eager to care for nearly any species of pet—provided they are non-aggressive. Whether you have a tiny kitten, a guinea pig, rabbits, dogs, birds, I will provide the knowledgeable, and affectionate care they deserve. In short, I will treat your pets like they are my pets.
