I have been around dogs my entire life from golden retrievers to mastiffs to spaniels, I was fortunate enough to grow up with these family pets by my side throughout my childhood. My professional experience began in high school when I started dog sitting to compensate for no longer having a dog of my own at home. I've worked in various settings related to the health and well-being of dogs, as well as actively caring for and being around dogs. I worked in the pet supply industry and gained a background in dog in relation to their health and wellness. I went on to work at a boarding and training facility, where I learned how to handle and monitor many dogs in a kennel, analyze and evaluate dog behavior, provide and reinforce basic obedience skills, bathing and grooming, and catering to the needs of each individual dog. I'm experienced in training dogs, I have a working knowledge of behavioral nuances and am continuing to work on my training abilities especially in relation to dogs with special needs and behavioral problems. My goal is to help provide your pets with the best care possible by utilizing the full range of knowledge I have gained and continue to expand by working with dogs of all varieties. So, if you've got a puppy who is a bit unruly, a senior dog who needs specific care, or a dog with a bit of an attitude towards unfamiliar people, I will tend to their individual levels of care and ensure that your furry family member is in the hands of someone who loves dogs and continues to build their knowledge about them, with this I hope I can give your dog the care they need as an individual and ensure you that your dog is being cared for in the manner you do for them. I have full availability at this time. I have one dog of my own she is a long haired toy chihuahua name Cyrene (Chichi) and is 7 months old. She is great with people, dogs, cats, and can be either brought along as a companion or I’m able to separate her or not bring her should you feel uncomfortable having her around your furry family member. My goal is to cater to the needs of you and provide the best care possible for your beloved furry baby.
