I have been taking care of dogs for the past 15 years, and have rescued two lost dogs, an abused dog, and two lost cats. I lovingly cared for them until either their owners were found or were placed in a better home. Neighbors, friends, and family also rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets on a regular basis. My daughter and I have also been actively involved in a weekly dog training group for the past two years. I also have extensive experience in handling dogs with aggression issues, for I had a dog of 11 years whom displayed this sort of behavior, and have went through a significant amount of hands-on training with a professional dog trainer to learn how to best maintain a healthy and safe environment for both our dog and family. I also continue to participate in ongoing training classes and certifications in Dog CPR, puppy training, understanding what's inside a dog's mind, and how to handle dogs with aggressive behavior. Additionally,I have successfully organized and led a children's camp with 6 different therapy trained dogs as my guests, while teaching the children how to best interact with the dogs in a positive and natural way. Lastly and most importantly, I am able to provide your dog the best of care in a safe, well-managed, and loving environment within my home, as well as a spacious, fenced-in backyard to run and play in. If need be, I can pick-up and drop off your pet, and can even bathe them upon request. I can gate off certain sections of my house to keep pets separated if necessary, and can also crate your dog if needed/requested. My home is also smoke free.
