Pet Trainers

Hi there, thank you for taking time to read my bio. I graduated with honors from Animal Behavior College in June of 2014 as a Certified Dog Trainer. Prior to my certification, I was a Playtime Supervisor and did Walk&Trains for White Oak Animal Hospital. In addition, I am certified through the American Red Cross in both cat/dog CPR and first aid. I have experience with and will provide care to cats, small mammals, and livestock (depending on the type of animal(s) and the requirements). Rates are negotiable, as every situation and client requires something different. I have rescue dogs, cats, and farm animals that I absolutely adore and look forward to showing your family member(s) the same love, affection, and attention I give my own babies. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello! I am a new mom looking for some side work. I have been in the veterinary field for over 10 years, but unfortunately found out quickly that I didn't make enough money to afford childcare. I am now a stay at home Mama looking for a side job that allows me to still work with animals and bring in a little income. I have experience caring for large and small mammals as well as exotics. I can help you with nail trims, medications and much more! Thanks so much for your time! Lauren

I have cared for a variety of pets my entire life. Upon recently I spent time apprenticing with a professional dog trainer in Hawaii. I am comfortable working with all types of pets (even reptiles), and with any breed/temperament. I have taken dog behavior courses and worked with aggressive/reactive dogs in the past. I offer pet sitting/boarding, dog walking, dog training, and dog grooming. If you need pet care, look no further! My services are as follows: Pet Sitting - I am able to stop by to care for your pets in your home. Includes pet waste removal, feeding, and walking. Pet Boarding - I am able to board a small dog, cats, and small reptiles. Dogs must be dog-friendly and potty-trained. Preferable crate-trained (won't bark/whine while crated). Cats must be dog-friendly and litter-box trained. Dog Walking - hourly rates. Dog Grooming - brush-out, bath, teeth-brushing, breath refresh, ear cleaning, nail trimming. Dog Training - hourly rates, requires initial consultation.

I have been caring for animals since I was a small child. I have been pet sitting for friends and family members since I was about 8 years old. I received a bachelors degree in animal science from UC Davis, and I have worked at shelters, boarding and daycare facility, a pet groomer, and an animal show. Throughout my various animal jobs, I have learned all aspects of animal care including feeding, training, cleaning, basic home grooming, and medicating. These experiences have also given me opportunities to work will all kinds of animals both domestic and exotic.

Since 2005, I have been working with dogs. In January 2014, I established my own business, where I walk and train dog owners dogs. One of my first pet jobs through Care. com was to work with a family with two, 3-year-old Labradoodles. The dogs were having behavior issues when the owners were walking the dogs in their neighborhood (straining and barking at other dogs, not always walking at "heel"). After three sessions with the owners and the dogs, the owners said that there was a big improvement in their behavior. I really enjoy being outdoors and I walk dogs in the summer heat, the snow, and rain. Most of all, I love dogs. I am a retired licensed social worker (LMSW) with the State of New York. In the past, I worked for a reputable and renowned service dog organization in Westchester County, NY (from 2005-June, 2015). I trained service dogs for disabled persons with this organization.
