K9 Companion Interaction

Hello and let me introduce myself. I'm the White Chocolate Buddha; the chocolate that's good for dogs. K9's have been in my life throughout living with or working for them. My experience working with K9's dates back to age 16 working with a veterinarian in Georgetown, KY assisting with animals requiring an operation and tending to the K9 boarding kennel behind the veterinarian's office, house sitting in Santa Fe,NM for Clinton and Brizia's Australian Red Heeler Brisbane and Smokey their Black Pug, employment with Paws Plaza located in Santa Fe, NM as an Animal Caretaker between August 14th, 2023 and November 21st, 2023, and an opportunity to work as an Adoption Counselor at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter March and April of this year. My motivation is to work with K9's on a personal level. K9's are phenomenal for my wellbeing. Thank you for everything.

Stephen watched our senior Bernese while we headed out of town for the weekend. We returned home to a happy dog and a spotless house. Exactly what you hope for when selecting a sitter. Stephen was kind, courteous, and respectful of our place. He also provided an appropriate amount of photos. Enough to get a daily dose of our pup and to see things were going well. I would absolutely recommend him, and we will use him again in the future.

Stephen was really great and accommodating. He was awesome with our two dogs and they loved him. Communication was great and he even came over to meet the dogs before sitting them so they could get to know him. Would definitely book in the future! Thank you!

I came home to find my boys content and the house was clean. I am very grateful that my boys were well taken care of while I was gone.

Stephen did a great job. I came home to some fairly calm boys and everything was in good order.. Stephen even brought my shy one out of his shell.
