Life long dog lover!

Pet care experience

As a lifelong pet lover and dog owner, I've had pets since I was 8. I've owned all types of pets, reptiles, birds, rodents, cats, dogs, you name it! I am attentive and respectful to each pet's needs and wants. Does your dogs like to cuddle? Cuddle session! Active? Let's jog! Need alone time? Let's chill out and relax! Want some homemade treats? I'll cook! I have walked, boarded, as well as trained dogs for friends and families. I am a very active person so if you have a high energy pup, I'm your gal! I trained my dog who currently understands 15+ commands in two languages! He's not perfect, nor anything out of the ordinary but with lots of patience and positive reinforcement, he has been learning and improving everyday. Hopefully, he can be a companion to your furry loved one as well!

Information Shirley C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any medical or behavioral needs or sensitivities that I need to account for. I will keep note to be mindful of your dog's needs.

A typical day

I love stimulate dogs mentally and physically. I typically go for a long walk or jogs , depending on the dog's needs. I have three parks within a 1.5 mi radius. I let dogs explore, play, and sometimes train at the parks (I sometimes bring a long lead and treats for training). On longer walks, I will go to the grassy parks where there's lots of room to run and explore! Indoors, I provide toys, play tug and hide and seek treat games with dogs to keep them mentally stimulated.
