I work from home and am happy to engage, entertain and snuggle your pup! As an educator, children and pets are two of my passions! Both require patience, empathy, love and understanding. I have experience in Applied Behavior Analysis with both pets & children, which has helped create my philosophy of positive reinforcement for both training and care. Your dog or puppy will receive positive reinforcement and love, throughout their time with me, and will never experience harsh or negative punishment. I have experience with both small and large breed dogs. Currently, I have a beautiful fur baby Otis, who is a 2 year old French bulldog. My parents have a 1 year old Great Pyr. I will care for any size dog, but if you are requesting boarding in my home, your dog must be able to play and get along with Otis (24 lbs).My 195 pound Great Dane passed away two years ago, but having her for 8 years gave me ample large breed experience. If you have an active dog, I will provide exercise and adventure. If you have a sleepy head, we can cuddle and nap! Meet and greets (virtual if you are not local) and proof of vaccinations are required. I am happy to provide my vet reference and personal references, if you’d like. I understand that having a stranger take care of your fur baby or being in your home can be nerve wracking. I always communicate with the owner throughout the duration of care- I can text photos, etc. If you choose me to care for your pup, I will be sure to follow your explicit instructions while giving your pet a stimulating, fun and loving experience with me!
