Hello, I've had dogs all my life. Growing up we had smaller dogs-miniature breeds. Currently I have two Dobermans. I've also had mid-sized animals. I love to help out with dog-sitting and dog-walking for friends and family. Training dogs, puppies to adults, is one of my favorite things to do. I can assist with and be consistent with anything you're working on with your pet. I also am very comfortable with timid/scared/anxious dogs. We've had several rescue animals, and they all took some time learning to trust. I am also comfortable with cats and kittens. I've only had one cat in my life. However, I've done cat sitting on several occasions. Lastly, I'm comfortable with snakes, fish, and pocket pets. We currently have a hedgehog and a few fish.
