Anxious Pet Parents — Rest Easy
Pet care experience
Having worked at a veterinary office for 6 years, both in reception and as a technician, I prioritize safety above all else. I am well versed in dog body language + basic canine first aid so you can always rest easy knowing your pup is safe & stress-free! Former president of Tulane University's service dog training club, I raised & trained two Golden Retriever/Lab crosses to become service dogs. They both now serve disabled folks helping them gain independence in their daily lives! Experienced trainer with a focus on errorless and R+ training methods to keep dogs stress free and engaged! Always happy to do some basic obedience work with your dog and share tips on how to train yourself. I provide extremely detailed visit summaries and lots of photos so you know your baby is having a great time!

About Kiersten R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my absolute top priority: - No dog is ever off leash in an unfenced area under my supervision. - I have extensive knowledge of local plant species and which should be avoided at all costs by scavenger pups. - No interactions with other dogs without your explicit permission. Even the friendliest pups can get themselves in trouble with unknown dogs and we don't take chances!
Home
Information Kiersten R. would like to know about your pet
- Anything they may be reactive to (other dogs, children, birds, squirrels, cars) - Anything that provokes anxiety (loud noises, petting from above, sudden movements) - Special medical needs (bad joints, respiratory issues, tendency to overheat) - Food rules (any mealtime routines, treats they can/can't have, allergies) - Things they like! How can I make your dog feel as at home as possible? (areas they like to be pet, routines they enjoy, favorite toys)
A typical day
- You tell me! You know your dog the best and I'm able to follow your directions/guidance to the letter to keep them safe and happy in their usual routine. - Dogs are never off leash with me unless in a securely fenced in area. - I'm happy to provide walks, runs, indoor/outdoor playtime alone or with my dog (8mo lab) depending on your pup's preferences/reactivity.
