I've been working with animals since I was 16 years old. I have an extensive background in pet grooming, animal behavior, daycare and boarding attendant, dog walking, and pet sitting. I specialize in care of elderly and special needs animals as well as puppies that are newly learning how to walk on lead etc. I believe my calm and gentle approach is what makes it really easy for nervous, scared, or anxious dogs to trust me without hesitation. My work schedule has currently opened up to allow a bit more flexibility in my day. I'm also originally from out of state, so with the upcoming holidays and my family being out of state, I have plenty of time to care for your pets while you're busy. I think that pets are much more comfortable in an environment that they're familiar with, and having a pet be in a comfortable atmosphere is a big part of ensuring they are happy and content while in the care of someone other than their parents. This is why I am more than happy to do in home visits or playtime, or pickups from home for walks- so that there's no need for your pet to become nervous getting accustomed to a place they've never been before.
