Dog trainer’s home on 8 acres

Pet care experience

I am an animal trainer for film and television and have worked with many types of animals since I was a child. I have a bachelor’s degree in Biology as well as an associate’s degree in Exotic Animal Training and Management. I am from South Carolina originally and have recently moved back to the southeast after a 12 year stint in California. Before my current career, I was a veterinary technician in an emergency clinic. Due to my past experience, I have vast husbandry and veterinary knowledge of many animal species. A full resume is available upon request. I am currently offering in-home dog boarding as well as board-and-train and dog daycare options when I am not otherwise working on a studio project.

Mary Kate was awesome! This was Bella first time boarding and interacting with other dogs/cats. I’m very pleased to hear she was good. Seen her running around in an open field melted my heart and she WILL be back!

Mary Kate was friendly and welcoming! Keep me informed with pictures. This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone, but she made it very easy. One of our dogs didn’t want to leave!
