Pet care experience

Eager to give quality care to pets!

I've rescued 5 dogs over the last 16 years. I'm most familiar with bully breeds, Boxer, Jack Russel, Miniature Poodle, and the Bichon Frise. I also fostered a Rottweiler. I'm passionate about "adopt don't shop" when it comes to rescuing animals. I am familiar with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, reactivity, and poor leash walking behaviors. I've worked with trainers using positive reinforcement techniques to address these. I love the outdoors and will take your pups to the park, beach and wooded trails. I have also taken my dogs camping and kayaking! I don't have as much experience with cats, but I grew up with cats and am familiar with them. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet family members!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs are walked 3-4 times per day since I don't have fencing. They have free range in our home while away, but are crated at night for sleeping. Both of my dogs take medications for separation anxiety and allergies, so I am familiar with administering medications. Our dogs eat twice daily and get lots of snuggling or play time at in the evening after work and on weekends.

Let me know if your pet has any special behavioral or dietary needs in advance. I also will need to know if they need to take medication regularly. Contact me for a "meet and greet" so that you can feel confident leaving your pets in my care.
