Your Local Pet Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have cherished animals since the age of 5. I currently have a cat that I rescued and my beloved dog - Koda passed away from stroke in 2019. I professionally trained dog for 7 years specializing in puppies and adolescent dogs, ranging from miniature poodles (3lbs) to American mastiffs (200lbs), as well as have been an evaluator for the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Test which is a prerequisite for many therapy dog programs. I have a deep understanding of dog behavior. Paying attention to their body language during interactions with people and other dogs, allows me to ensure their safety and defuse the situation when signs of stress and anxiety are visible. My experience has taught me that positively implemented routines gives the animals the best experience.
