In addition to owning and caring for animals since I was a child, I was a professional dog trainer at PetSmart in college. I abolsutely love fostering dogs and caring for the needs of all personality types. I believe animals should be treated with the highest of patience and respect and therefore I have a firm "ignore the bad, reward the good" policy in my home for my pets (and guest pets). I will treat your beloved four-legged family member as if it were my own. My #1 goal is to give my clients the reassurance and security they deserve when leaving their baby behind. I work remotely from my home which allows me the opportunity to give my furry guests all the attention they require. Drop-off and pick-up times can be arranged conveniently around your schedule. I have a 2yo son who is home with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a 4yo yellow lab who is always home with me. Both are pure joy and will warmly welcome just about any personality type into their "Pack" with open arms (and paws). I will care for your pet as if it were my own - with love, patience, kindless, and full-attentivness. I can follow strict schedules, dietary needs, bathroom needs, and sleeping arrangements as if your pet were still at home. I will NEVER physically disicline your pet. I will take the same approach I do with my own pets and redirect unwanted behavior. I have the full understanding that animals may need time and special care to adapt to new surroundings and I'm equipped to handle such adjustments.
