** currently only providing cat care and dog walks. No boarding or daycare.** I am a crazy dog lady. I love our dogs and often dogsit for extended periods of time for friends, family, and neighbors. I utilize strictly positive reinforcement with dogs and believe that dogs need affection, exercise, and lots of time to sniff. I’ve cared for high energy puppies like labs and goldens, senior dogs with mobility and sensory disabilities, dogs with strict allergy requirements, and dogs recovering from major surgeries. I am well-versed in therapeutic activities for dogs recovering from knee surgery. I have cared for dogs with skin challenges requiring an intensive approach to care including the administration of medicated baths, injections, ointments, pills, sprays, etc. I’ve participated in several dog training programs and am well-versed in socialization best practices, trail etiquette, and desensitization techniques. I keep up to date through books, websites, and frequent contact with our vet, our trainer, and the owner of the doggy daycare we took our Lola to for years. I work from home so the pups are never alone for long. We have a fenced yard and often take walks to Hutchinson Playfield, Kubota Gardens, Dead Horse Canyon, and Chinook Beach Park. Bottom line: I am committed to the health, wellbeing, and happiness of all dogs. I have a kiddo and a couple of dogs of my own. Happy to take on regular walks if it works with our schedules or to provide an occasional walk. I am currently only offering dog walks or cat care. When walking, I prefer dogs to be on a harness for safety reasons. I am happy to feed and provide medication and other forms of enrichment or affection.
