Pooch Play Haven

When it comes to what sets me apart from other sitters, it's all about my passion and experience in training dogs. I am a force-free dog trainer who is also currently pursuing my degree in Animal Health and Behavior Science. I've been in the dog world for over 8 years! During this time, I have attended many webinars/seminars to learn more about dogs and developed a deep understanding of their body language and how they communicate, as well as how to help them navigate the world around them. In summer of 2023, I began taking on dog training clients, as well as reaching out to animal shelters to volunteer. I have found myself to be skilled in many areas of dog training such as: Socialization, leash manners, reactivity, potty training, puppy training and more! I am able to switch around depending on the dog to perfectly match their needs and behavior. One more thing that sets me apart is how willing I am to change around depending on your dog. I am very active and a very avid hiker, so if your dog enjoys a hike, then we will absolutely go hiking. If your dog is a couch potato and would rather sleep all day we can then chill at home on the couch and watch movies together! I am also a photographer so your pets will go home with professional photos that will last a lifetime! When you entrust your precious pup to me, you can be confident that they'll receive top-notch care and guidance. I'll create a safe and positive environment where they can thrive and be their happiest selves. They’ll return home to you happy, well-cared for, and fulfilled. 🌟

Rubi is very lovely and her love for dogs amazes me. She has helped me train 2 of my dogs and even helps with pet sitting and check-ins. My dogs and I love her very much and we would love to see her do more.

Living with Rubi, I see how much care and dedication she puts into her animals. She has always been very into animals and is very knowledgable in everything. I can always trust what she tells me and she has always been kind to every animal she meets.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a friendly, but neutral, 2 year old border called named Vena, and a shy 5 year old cat named Cali, who typically likes to stay to herself. My dog is very well trained and is able to ignore dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a potty area where the dogs can go out on leash. I live right near the walking trail that goes along the susquehanna, and a short drive from Seven Tubs, which I visit frequently. All dogs will be safely restrained in the car, either in a crash tested harness or crate, which I provide! When visiting homes, I will be sure to follow all house rules. I will make sure to introduce myself to the dogs/cats in a safe and positive way!
