Getting to be around animals all day is the reason I do this work! Over the years I have worked at cat spas, fostered kittens, walked dogs and owned several pets. My first dog was a rescue, and she taught me to have a tremendous amount of patience when it comes to working with traumatized animals. After months of training, my little chihuahua grew to love people and became exceptionally well-behaved. I've had many encounters with rescue animals and can recognize when a dog is uncomfortable, so I approach them in a non-threatening manner. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to care for dogs with all types of personalities. Whether your dog is energetic or mellow, confident or shy, I can cater to their needs!
