With a deep-rooted passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I’ve built up my animal experience around understanding and caring for dogs at every level. From running a professional dog kennel to grooming and training, my work is grounded in both structure and empathy. Managing a kennel taught me how to care for dogs in a dynamic, fast-paced environment—balancing health, behavior, and individual needs across a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Through grooming, I developed a keen eye for detail and a calm, patient approach that helps dogs & cats feel safe and cared for. My training background spans both obedience and agility, allowing me to work with dogs not just on discipline, but on confidence, communication, and performance. Whether it’s helping a family dog become well-mannered at home or guiding a high-energy dog through agility courses, I focus on building trust and bringing out each dog’s full potential. This is integrated into my day to day with my own three dogs and will be with the pets I care for. At the core of everything I do is a simple belief: every dog deserves to be understood, respected, and given the opportunity to thrive.
