Not just dogs-FAMILY!
Pet care experience
Dogs are more than just dogs; they’re family. Worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and histories: some happy, some horrid. I am a APDT(Association of Professional Dog Trainers) certified, primarily employing obedience and behavioral training with calming strategies all founded on positive reinforcement. I have studied dog behavior and canine body language to better understand their social cues and what they are trying to say. I have learned a great deal, mostly from the dogs. They truly are remarkable teachers. The greatest lesson I have learned is if you wish to have positive relationships, and live in the moment – think and talk “dog”.
Reviews
Sheila brings knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm to her work. She is a warm and kind person who works with her clients to insure their pets are given the attention and affection they deserve! She is devoted and committed to the pets that are in her care!
Sheila was literally meant to do this work! My dog, Homer, is with me all the time and very much like a human family member - Shelia is one of the only people I trust to care for him and he adores her. I've also referred Sheila to other family members and friends and we all rave about her unique style and profound ability to connect with our 4 leggeds! I highly recommend her for walking, training and overnight care!
Sheila is a top-rate dog walker/pet sitter who goes above and beyond to ensure the dog in her care is comfortable, happy and safe. She absolutely adores dogs and has a wealth of training experience and sound instincts. I highly recommend her to any dog family lucky enough to connect with her!!
Sheila is and has been an amazing caregiver for my dogs. She has walked, stayed over and taken such good care of our dogs anytime we have needed her to for over the past 5 years. We are so lucky to have found her. Her dedication and love of animals is unmatched. It is not just a job for her, but a love. She is so incredibly passionate in what she does and how she will care for your pet is as if it is her own. I highly recommend her. She is reliable, dependable and you can feel rest assured with your pets in her care.
