Growing up a farm is the reason for my love of animals. With any new pet I meet, I'm patient and attentive to understand their personalities to ensure they feel safe whether I'm caring for them in their home, or walking. I understand it takes time to build trust with someone's fur baby; especially with someone new who's entering into their space. My goal is to give your pet the love, care and attention they desire, and to put your mind at ease knowing they are safe. ----- With dogs, I have experience raising and training puppies, caring for female dogs who have given birth or are in heat, teaching and reinforcing basic commands, leash training, walking fear reactant, shy, hyper, & social dogs. As well as providing senior dog care, giving daily medication doses, and end of life care. With cats, I fully understand some are social, and there are some who want nothing to do with you. I focus on what the parent wants me to do in regards to care for their cat, and I take my social cues for approaching or playing with them from the cat themselves.
