I'm an experienced service dog trainer. With years of experience, I offer a level of confidence with making sure I take care of your furry family members' needs. I grew up loving animals; my home was filled with dogs, cats, snakes, frogs, birds, lizards, and more. Through a parent's divorce, I lost my first dog. Her name was Rambo; she was my first friend. For years, I struggled to make sense of her loss. It took me until I met a 3 month English yellow Lab, Eddie. For two years, I worked with Eddie, until he became a public access service dog, serving alongside a retired police officer who lives with PTSD. My experience with Eddie not only helped me heal the pain I felt from my childhood loss, my lessons from him and other dogs also taught me a great deal about doggie behavior, socialization, synchronization, and so on. With what I've gained as a dog trainer and human, I now extend those tools to animals who live as pet companions. The cats and dogs who come with me will receive a high level of care from someone who believes in each living being's right to have the best care. And, what may set me apart from other qualified people is that I provide specialized care; your pets will receive not just a walk or a sitter, they will receive care that is catered to them and their needs. Walking is more than that; it requires anticipation. Daycare is not just that; the experience requires engagement and the knowing that s/he is truly being cared for. I guarantee all of this, and more.
