Update: I am accepting a scholarship in another state. We will not be providing services after the end of April. Thank you to all my wonderful clients who have supported me. I will miss all of you and your pets very much. Animals have been such a huge part of my life! Even as a small child, I knew that I wanted to work with animals in some capacity. I began making a little zoo of small mammals and birds, and eventually worked my way up to where I am today, where I have tons of experience working with animals in a professional manner (more on that later!) and am working through my undergrad degree to become a veterinary animal behaviorist. I simply love taking care of animals and helping them thrive, so I just can’t wait to meet you and your pooch! My history with animal care is very extensive. I have earned a small legion of certifications with several different pet industry organizations, and am certified in the following rolls: Nationally Certified Master Groomer, Advanced Pet Care Technician, Certified Pet Dog Trainer-KA, Canine Specialist, and Feline Specialist. Needless to say, I know a thing or two about pet care! I’ve always believed that knowledge is crucially important to providing excellent care, so I’ve devoted my life to learning as much as I can to helping animals be healthy and happy. Your pooch is in good hands! With that in mind, I am happy to provide a whole host of services for your best friend. I offer everything from regular training sessions to skin and coat care. These services are available for an extra charge during your dog’s stay, but are available for every pup that comes my way! Hydrobaths are perfect for dogs suffering from skin irritations and arthritis, and includes professional washing and conditioning, drying, brushing, and light trimmings. My training services are perfect for pups that need a little bit of behavior modification to develop positive behaviors using force-free methods. My services are also perfect for elderly dogs with special needs, as well! Lastly: when taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all.
