I have 6 years of experience training and caring for dogs. I also have experience caring for rabbits, hamsters, cats, birds, and fish. I believe animals are quite capable of feeling emotions, and will be sure to do my best to make them happy while they are in my care.

I have a dog of my own, and she is my whole world. I trained her all by myself- from the time she was a little thing. She can sit, stay, wait, lay down, leave it (food, toys, other animals), paw, spin, and speak. My love for my girl is bigger than words- and I'm sure I have more love to spare for your furry one!
