I grew up with a cat and a dog who I cared for and loved very much. About 8 years ago, after I finished college, I began working professionally in animal care. I started as a supervisor and care attendant at a dog boarding facility, which eventually led me to becoming a certified dog trainer. I moved to New York City and spent 5 years there as a dog walker, trainer, house sitter and caregiver of animals of all sorts. I have experience caring for, training, feeding, and administering medication to dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. I also have experience with other animals such as cats, rabbits, turtles and more. I recently moved to Saratoga Springs from Brooklyn with my partner, our dog and two cats, and am really looking forward to continuing my dog walking, training and animal care career in a new, more suitable environment. I am self-employed and have a flexible schedule I create myself. If I don't respond right away I will get back to you very shortly! I am available for walks, drop-ins, and housesitting at clients' homes. I have a small, friendly 7-year-old chihuahua mix up to date on all vaccines who I will only bring if you request it and your dog likes company! I require a meet-and-greet before every first visit.
