I grew up in a household with dogs, cats and parrots (in other words - a zoo!) and went on to show toy dogs and start a rescue group for puppy mill dogs. My rescue work requires a deep understanding of canine psychology and patience to facilitate the rehabilitation process for dogs who have never known caring human touch or experienced all the "scary" things (the hustle and bustle of city life, loud noises, young children, etc.) their new world offers. I also worked for a suburban pet sitting agency for ten years before deciding to strike out on my own. While working at the agency, I garnered a reputation for being the best working with more challenging pets and those who have special needs. I will love your pet as my own and do everything in my power to keep him or her safe, happy and healthy. I also provide transportation services to the vet, doggy daycare, and groomer.
