I really like to make use of what i know about dogs and cats and how to read their body language and their social/behavioral cues to determine what it is they need from me!

Information Sydney H. would like to know about your pet

How reactive are they and to what? (fears, quirks, things they bark/hiss, lunge or pull at?) How are they on a leash? Food aggression? Anxious or scared behaviors? Potty trained? What are the animals boundaries or expectations when inside or outside the home?Allergies? Health Conditions? Concerns or questions? Any other things you would like me to know/ take note of!

A typical day

During my Visits, I can do a wide variety of things! I can walk, run, play, feed, teach puppy some new tricks over time, administer oral medications, try to fix a bad habit, really anything!

Pet care experience

I have worked with animals of all sizes, and many different personalities as well! It is through my work at a doggy daycare, interned at a Veterinary practice, and my time studying animal science, that i have learned many valuable tools to put to use both in my future career and with the animals i see everyday now! I have a calm, kind assertiveness that some dogs need, learned from my experiences with horses (riding is one of my fav things to do!), but also have a gentle, caring, and inviting aura animals seems to love!
