I have been training dogs since I was a little girl, teaching our family pet new tricks. I've since trained 4 puppies into good citizens and co-trained 2 large breed dogs, one of whom is a reactive rescue. I am very confident with dogs and know how to work through difficulties. Since I have one reactive dog in my home, I am cautious and take safety very seriously. I have professional experience caring for dogs and cats in a kennel environment. I worked at a veterinary clinic as an assistant and kennel attendant for 3 years. I am CPR and first aid certified. I also have extensive experience with horses which keeps my first aid skills sharp! I love all animals and will treat your friend as if they were my own. I am very detail oriented so I love to have lists and detailed instructions that I will follow to the letter while you're away. In my spare time, I volunteer at a cat shelter and foster difficult cases. I'm extremely attentive to animals well-being. For in-home boarding, I have space for 1 additional dog at a time. We have 2 separate yards, but one is reserved for my reactive dog to keep her and our other animals safe and happy. Our other 3 dogs are friendly but high energy. They are able to take turns with your dog being outside or play together if your dog likes to do so. Please feel free to ask me any questions and voice any concerns!
