Hey there! My name is Rae and I recently relocated to the area with my pet care business and bring over 10 years of professional experience working with animals. My background includes 5 years as a veterinary and recovery technician as well as operating my own professional dog training business for the last 5 years. I am a Level 3 R+ Fear Free Certified Professional Dog Trainer and am certified through the AKC. I am also insured and bonded through my business. My experience allows me to read canine body language naturally and understand how animals communicate, which helps me provide calm, attentive care tailored to each individual pet. Over the years I’ve worked with dogs across a wide range of temperaments, personalities, and life stages. From puppies in early development to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I’m comfortable adjusting my care to meet each dog where they are. My background in behavior and training also allows me to recognize stress signals early, support anxious or sensitive dogs, and maintain a calm, structured environment while you’re away. I am experienced caring for pets with medical needs including insulin injections, glucose monitoring, medications, and senior and palliative care. My veterinary background helps me stay attentive to subtle changes in behavior or health so your pets receive thoughtful, observant care.
