I am here to care for your pets.

Pet care experience

I've successfully adopted and trained a shelter dog named Eben. I have taken it upon myself to learn how to train dogs, how they think and how they view the world around them. This isn't just a job for me. This is a passion. It is my personal goal to keep dogs healthy, active and in their homes with loving families. My goal is to keep dogs out of shelters and off the table. I plan on doing this by helping YOU take care of your dogs by making sure they have exercise, enrichment, structured routines and structured play. I have trained a 2yr old dog and a 4 month old puppy in basic obedience, crate training, potty training, basic recall, proximity, socialization and leash walking. These are basic things i have done on my own with my own personal dog as well. I only supply healthy food and treats to any dog under my care, unless i am provided with it. Any special requests can be discussed.
