Your dog’s favorite auntie ❤️

Pet care experience

I offer Board & Train, Daycare and private sessions which is perfect for the dog who needs more attention, socialization, a safe space during a family trip or the owner who needs help with a specific issue. In each session, I use positive reinforcement and positive punishment and create scenarios with hands-on training exercises custom to each fur baby and the needs of the home. Coming from a background of multiple pets/dogs in the home as a child, I am passionate about helping dog(s), families and pet owners enjoy living with each other. I have over 15 years of dog training experience, a love for furry four-legged friends, and a desire to create a comfortable and effective communication between pet and pet-owner.

Retia is an amazing person to work with! She has great communication, works so well with all dogs, and has an incredible training background. We know our pup is safe and happy with her each day for her walks and that gives us such peace of mind.

Arisha took good care of our dogs. She took them on long walks and cuddled with them, two of their favorite things.

Arisha is the best. Very responsive and skilled caring for dogs. Gilbert loved walking with her and the furry friends she brought along. 10/10 would recommend! ??⭐️
