I am a Certified Canine Massage Therapist and a co-founder of the Los Cabos Humane Society. I have extensive experience in working with and rescuing dogs in many situations as I rescued dogs from the streets of Mexico for 10 years. I am a certified canine myo-manipulative functional therapist providing in-home canine massage therapy, and my certification includes canine first aid and CPR. (k9massages (dot) com) I serve the Greater Palm Springs and Joshua Tree areas in California USA, including where I live in Yucca Valley. I specialize in working with distressed dogs who have been rescued from animal shelters or directly from the street; as well as aging dogs, patients recovering from surgery, and active dogs. I currently volunteer at Animal Samaritans in Thousand Palms, CA and comfort and massage excited and distressed dogs. I was a volunteer co-founding board member and head of rescue at the Los Cabos Humane Society for 10 years. I have experience in working with exotic animals, as I volunteered at an exotic animals ranch that housed zebras, camels, emus, bulls, lemurs, donkeys, horses, zorses and zonkeys, turtles, etc. I also worked as a dog handler in Burbank, CA on the Justin Bieber & David Hasselhoff music video featuring 35 dogs to handle! I am the mother of 2 rescue dogs and a magnificent horse. I will care for your pet as if it were my own. And I love cats and all animals! I am here for not only dogs but your cat, bird, horse, donkey, etc. I am a canine massage therapist who works on call at my patient's homes. My therapy appointments are less than one hour, therefore I am available to discuss your pet sitting schedule needs, and work with you. I'd like to stay at least one hour on drop-in visits. I offer drop-in visits in your home. I can stay for several hours to comfort your pet as needed. I will care for your pet as if she/he was my own. I am loyal and honest. I will not take your dog off of your property. I do not take dogs on the street or to dog parks. If your dog is in a fenced-in yard he or she will be supervised. I am very protective of all animals. I can also provide canine massage therapy sessions while I am sitting. References upon request.
