Highlights
Pet care experience
The balance and care your dog needs
I am a certified canine handler, certified by the American Working Dog Association. I have a Safe Grooming certification and have taken courses in dog first aid. I've been working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments over the last five years. Understanding a dog's foundational needs and then individualizing the approach based on the dog's history and temperament are the keys to successfully caring for your puppers.

I currently work from home and I only need one hand to type so the other hand is for petting your pup. Hours for pick up and drop off are restricted to 6-7 am and after 4 pm.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a walkable neighborhood that allows for walk breaks throughout the day. If your dog needs crate breaks to center himself I have a variety of crate sizes available. I have a fenced yard with agility activities. I have a variety of leashes including a short leash for structured walks and a 15 ft leash for exploring walks. I also have a custom dog bath. I have everything to curate a healthy, well rounded pup.
Pets
A typical day
Your pup can expect to play hide and seek games. I have a tires course for jumping, exploring and balancing. Varying size hurdles will help exercise your pup and challenge their mind. Of course calm walks and downtime are important too.
