*My rate is HOURLY not per half hour.* *My schedule is updated weekly as my primary job hours vary* Hello there! I am an animal advocate and I have been rehabilitating, fostering and training animals for over 20 years. I worked extensively with 1st Avenue Shelter getting dogs healthy, happy, balanced and off to a new home. I held a year long internship with Eugene’s Dog Whisperer learning to improve my relationships with dogs and help other dog owners do the same. I worked as a veterinary assistant for a year. I believe that with calm guidance, exercise, and love, any dog can flourish. I am also flexible and can adjust my sitting style to best serve your dog’s particular preferences or training routines. I am available to house sit while you enjoy vacations, or stop in for walks or care while you’re at work on on a short holiday. I can also walk/run/bike or swim dogs. I’m a hiker and love hiking! I have two of my own friendly dogs that could join in for a walk or, you could specify that your dog prefers to be alone. I offer low-income discounts or trades to those that can show proof of food stamps or similar.
