I speak your dog's language!

Pet care experience

I am located in SW portland and have worked for over three years at a doggie daycare! I work hands on with certified trainers in the community and have learned so much about dog behavior, focusing primarily on positive reinforcement. I have an above average knowledge of basic doggie health (even some grooming tips too!). I'm full of energy, which means I can keep a pup occupied and entertained. I love all breeds, and am I highly against breed discrimination and restrictions. Dogs are such pure creatures, I will treat yours with the same love and care I would treat my own. I truly feel that I am a great fit for most families. I can not wait to get in touch! Thank you much.

This girl is an amazing sitter! Sent me photos and updates of my girl a couple times a day, and helped her feel comfortable as she is an anxious girl when moms away. Highly recommend Merlinda! ?
