Without A Dog Our Heart Is Empty

Pet care experience

All the dogs that have been in my care are treated as my own. You might get them back a little more spoiled than before. I believe in natural cleaners, treats and bathing products for dogs. Each interaction will be specific to your dog, for example your dog like squeaky toy play or peanut butter. I always incorporate some form of training in my interactions. I️ am available right now only on weekends or over holiday breaks. I have 15 years of dog training experience with the Austin Humane Society, I also specialize in treating some behavior issues. We can always talk about what’s going on with your family pet to work on the right things. Would love to spend time with your dogs too. I can do day visits on most weekdays and weekends as needed for your fur babies. Their safety is always a priority with me. I treat your fur babies as my own in your home. I’m careful to make sure they are safe and happy. It’s all about them when I’m sitting.

I’m always careful when coming & going to make sure no fur babies get out. When out in your backyard I’m always with them. If we’re going for a walk I am very diligent about surroundings, other dogs and people or anything that your pup lets me know causes them pause.
