Introduction

Pet care is my specialty! I work in the animal care industry because I have a passion for animals and pet ownership. I have always owned pets and I find satisfaction working as a Dog Trainer and Pet Sitter. If given an opportunity, I will prove myself as valuable. I have helped birth, raise, and find homes for four puppies. Finding a stray and having the opportunity to save her and her puppies changed my life and career interests. I'm so grateful to have found a profession that I can wake up everyday and look forward to being a part of. I'm enjoying learning everything I can about professional animal care. Volunteering with the SPCA and working for a daycare and boarding facility has provided hands on training and education for animal care and safety. I worked under a force free dog trainer soaking up everything I could. In 2018 I graduated from Animal Behavior College as a Certified Dog Trainer. Thank you for your time and the opportunity to connect with you and your pet!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

It varies depending on travel time, frequency of service, work load (how many pets) and duration of service.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Together the new customer and I will go through the specifics of the job. Clear understanding of what's required ensures customers confidence and satisfaction. Meeting their pet and gathering all details about the pets health and personality are essential. The goal is to provide a safe and fun environment while their pet is in my care.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

For two years I worked in kennels and doggie daycare. This gave me hands on experience with all sorts of dog and cat temperaments as well as teaching me the importance of safety. I also worked under a force free trainer for a year which sparked a flame in my heart for training. I graduated from Animal Behavior College as a Certified Dog Trainer in 2017.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I found a stray who was two weeks from labor. I had the experince of my life helping deliver and raise 4 newborn puppies. I bottle fed them as their still emaciated mother couldn't produce milk. The experience of raising and finding homes for her puppies educated and inspired me to change career paths.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Families, pet owners and everyday people with too much on their plate. For these customers I've provided the following services; pet care, pet and house sitting, dog walking, dog bathing, child care and after school tutoring, meal preparation, organizing and providing various tasks typical of a personal assistant.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Walking a dog with separation anxiety. He is a joy! His behavior at home has improved since I began exercising him an hour or more a day. Bettering the lives of pets and pet owners is the foundation of my work. It is very rewarding.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Be specific with your work requirements so that both parties have a clear understanding of the service needed. Communication is key. Provide all details about your pet (even if you think it's not important).
