They say I'm a dog whisperer

I'm the girl at the party who spends the entire evening in the den sitting and talking with the dog on the floor -- I usually prefer the company of dogs over humans! Friends, family, and even employers have called me a dog whisperer when they see how their fur babies interact with me. I have 5 years experience caring for my 80 lb dog since he was a puppy, and over 3 years experience caring for employers' dogs as a nanny. When it comes to spending time with dogs, my favorite is exploring the outdoors and snuggling on the couch, but I am comfortable taking them just about anywhere. I am trained and experienced in proactive dog walking techniques, such as spatial awareness and body language communication. As a dog sitter/walker, my number one priority is the safety and well-being of the dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I am prepared and excited to venture outside your home with your dog(s), depending on your comfortability and preference. I have a car that is dog friendly with doggie water bottles and harness seatbelt included. I am also content if you would rather we stay within walking distance on your property -- whatever you doggo needs, I'm here for it.

I would love to know your dog's communication style and spacial preferences. I have so much respect for all animals' sense of space and anything that might be triggering for them.
