Pet care experience

I love dogs with all my heart and I've had a dog companion for as long as I can remember. I know how scary it can be finding someone who to trust with your furry friend so I'm here for you! I've worked with a trainer specialized in service dogs to get Luna's help to deal with my anxiety. We've trained through basic skills and are currently working on getting her confident in a public setting. We have traveled together to Mexico and the USA and she loves bike rides. I want to give the same level of care and patience I have for Luna to your furry companion. I believe all dogs can learn new tricks and I fully believe the mental stimulation they get from training and enrichment toys makes them really happy. I like to adjust my care to your dog needs while keeping them entertained so they don't miss you so much. Asides from my experience as an owner, I have volunteered for Elderdog Vancouver. I've had the opportunity to befriend older doggies and learn the best ways to make their time with me enjoyable, even when they are away from their best buddies.

Paola was so caring with Mojo. It was his first time in daycare and I was a little apprehensive. There was no need to worry as Paola is great with dogs!
