I have three pups. One large breed mix of a little bit of everything, a pitbull/american bulldog, and a chihuahua/boston terrier. All three of them came to me with their own quirks, but after many hours of consistent reward-based training, they all have become well rounded dogs. I understand that our pets are family, so finding the best person to watch them can be difficult! I went years without going on vacation due to not finding that perfect fit for my dogs. I previously worked at an animal shelter where I fit dogs and cats with their perfect homes. My job was to get to know the animals and adopt them out to appropriate families. After spending time walking and playing with the various dogs, I had to note their specific quirks. It was important to make adopters aware of what each specific dog needed. Some were slow to warm up and needed a quiet home. Others had high energy and needed an active home. I understand that every animal is different, so each pet will require a slightly different kind of care. The same goes for cats! While working in the shelter, I came across a wide variety of cats. Some were shy and slow to warm up while others were outgoing. With my ability to read the body language of both cats and dogs coupled with my experience in handling various quirks, I will comfortably and confidently care for your animal(s). I’ll enjoy doing it too!
