We love working with cats or dogs who aren't easy, and enjoy winning the trust of an old curmudgeonly cat or getting an anxious dog to relax. We're happy to put in the time to convince even the most stubborn ones that we're worthy friends. Our specialty is older cats and dogs who need more attention, as well as larger and more challenging breeds. I've been caring for animals since I was a kid - I especially love large breed dogs and absolutely any cats. I've done bottle feeding for cats, raised feral kittens, fostered cats for adoption, and handled dog-aggressive dogs. My fiancee has more than ten years experience caring for cats, and we have both adopted and fostered young and old animals. We've both handled dogs and cats post-surgery and can give medicine (liquid & pills) to either. We both know just how much it means to have someone who can understand your pets. We use only positive training techniques - we'll be glad to work on new skills or reinforcing old ones with your animal. We're part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and you can be assured that we will treat all folks and their animals with respect. We have worked with: Saint Bernard/Mastiff Husky/Malamute Rottweiler Maremma/Akita/Shepherd Anatolian Shepherd German Shepherd Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) Jack Russell Terrier Miniature Poodle Miniature Dachshunds Maine Coon cross All kinds of mixes!
