Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Molly and I’m a PhD student in Special Education with a deep love for animals and a background in both volunteering at animal shelters and working with children with developmental disabilities. I have taken care of my parent’s rescue dogs since 2010 - 1 chiweenie mix and 1 corgi/dachshund/shepherd mix, who are now 18 years old and 14 years old, respectively. They live with my parents, but whenever I visit, I absolutely love taking care of my sweet fur babies. I make sure they have frequent potty breaks and ample play/exercise time. I am also trained in puppy socialization, which helps socialize puppies to their environment. I volunteer at the Austin Humane Society 1-2 times a week. If you have rowdy dogs or dogs who have behavior challenges, book me! I have taken basic and high-level dog training classes and am trained on basic handling, working with rowdy and shy dogs, and basic obedience commands (sit, gentle, watch, etc.) I have extensive training on techniques to help dogs exhibit more appropriate behavior and increase their likelihood of getting adopted. When I take care of your pets, I take it very seriously. You can expect me to send at least 2 daily updates (morning and night) on your dogs and I am more than happy to provide more if you'd like! I love taking lots of pictures of them, so expect multiple pictures too. I treat your pets as if they are my own, which is something that is not taken lightly on my end. I will take care of your dogs accordingly to your instructions, any special needs they have, and any other information necessary to take care of them. As for my job, I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and work with individuals with developmental disabilities. I study the science of behavior analysis and have been for 6 years! I apply this with children who have developmental disabiltiies. I have studied extensively the principles of behavior and how it affects individuals and their environment. :)
