I am a full time, independently insured, professional pet care provider with a special interest in the care of reactive and fearful dogs. I have a strong background in dog rescue as my parents fostered puppy mill dogs throughout my entire childhood, and as an adult I continued volunteering as a transporter. I am not a trainer, but my unique upbringing has given me the skills necessary to keep fearful and reactive dogs safe. It can be difficult to find care for a dog when they aren't social with other dogs or strangers, and finding a calm and patient handler that can identify limits and manage potential triggers can be just as hard. I have a passion for ensuring your pups are comfortable and cared for in the comfort of their own home, all the while giving you regular updates and photos for your own peace of mind. My life with rescue dogs has also exposed me to various medical conditions. I am comfortable administering insulin, getting picky pups to take pills, and changing bandages (or helping you do any of the above), and I also have a variety of tricks up my sleeve to keep dogs occupied and content during surgical recovery. Deaf, blind, and "fewer-limbed" dogs are also welcome on my schedule! I am up-to-date on canine first aid and CPR and take every opportunity to further my education in canine behavior and enrichment through the IAABC so I can provide the best care while you're away.
