Loving Animal Trainer

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Tovah and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and give them the best care possible! I graduated from the prestigious Academy for Dog Trainers in 2017 as I spent 6 months working for a high volume doggie daycare/boarding facility in Atlanta, GA, where I got hands on experience with all types of personalities and breeds, big, small, giant and tiny. Drop-In Visits and House sitting: The safety of your pet and security of your household will be my primary goals! I’m all too familiar with the headaches and sometimes heartaches that can result from hired help leaving a door unlocked or a gate wide open. Attention to these details along with giving your pet the love and attention they crave is what I pride myself on. I’m also comfortable taking on other household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in the mail as requested. What sets me apart: I graduated with honors from the rigorous, Academy for Dog Trainers, earning my credentials as a CTC. I’m also a certified Fear Free Animal Trainer. While training won’t be the primary goal, you can rest assured that with my extensive background in animal behavior there will be ZERO training tactics used on your dog that elicit fear or pain. Caretakers often use intimidation and fear unknowingly in an attempt to get dogs to cooperate and this can be very stressful. Any training we do will be fun and aim to ease the stress from being away from home. Fido might just come home with a silly trick you can show off to your friends. We can’t wait to meet you and welcome your beloved pet for a fun visit at our house! See you soon.

We needed a dog sitter for just one day, and Tovah was immediately available and able to meet us in a convenient spot. She entertained our pup while we were at Silver Dollar City, so we didn’t have to worry.

Tovah did absolutely amazing with our dogs. She worked wonders with our dog Duke before she watched them and we are so grateful for her. We now feel confident that we can go on vacation and have someone we trust watch our fur babies. She not only took great care of our dogs but she also left the house looking like it did when we got there. So thankful for her and loving on our pups while we were gone.

Tovah was great. She handled our two spoiled lap dogs and sent pictures. Very personable and the dogs were not anxious when they got home. Will use her again!!

I stay tuned in with your dogs needs, comfort being my main goal. Traveling and boarding can be very stressful for dogs and I try to minimize their stress. Depending on the dog this may mean staying away from my dog or it could mean getting to meet and play with them. If they’re sensitive to their space then I make sure to give them ample space to get comfortable. Please let me know your dog’s preferences!!

Information Tovah L. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog show any signs of Separation Anxiety? How do dog/dog greetings usually go with your dog? Is your dog on flee, tick, Heartworm prevention and up to date on their immunizations? Please send proof of Rabies vaccine prior to your arrival.

A typical day

Walks around the neighborhood are perfect for letting dogs do one of their all time favorite activities, using their nose! We’ll also spend 10-15 min a day doing whatever your dog loves be it fetch, tug, frisbee, or hide and search games. If your pup isn’t into any of these classics then we’ll do a puzzle or training game to use up some mental energy to leave them just as tired.
