Experience Dog Sitter/ Trainer

When I have a new client for pet sitting, I always like to have a free consultation first to make sure me and their pets are a good match. If their dog is skiddish in any sort of way, I always like to have a meet up where the owner and I can go out for a walk with their dog. This ensures some bonding before I will stay at their home and help care for their dog. 

For dog training, I always have a free consultation to make sure that I am a good fit for what the owner and dog needs in terms of training. If we are a good fit I will then come up with a plan that the owner and I will discuss. 

I am a Certified Professional Dog trainer through National K9! I am certified in Basic/ Advanced Obedience, Puppy Development and Behavior Modification! 

I have worked with dogs in all sorts of ways! Such as; dog sitting for the past 7 years, groomers assistant for a total of 3 1/2 years, I worked at a doggy daycare for a year, I worked at Invisible Fence for 3 years and I have worked at some training facilities! I have also been a Freelance dog trainer for the past 4 years! 

I have even volunteered for Canine Companions for Independence and have raised two CCI pups!

My standard pricing system for dog sitting is $25 for day time sitting and $35 for overnight care. 

My standard pricing for dog training is $250 for 3 sessions. If the owner is wanting something different that is something that we will discuss in pricing terms.

My love for dogs has been no secret for as long as I can remeber. Growing up I lived with a Husky, Boxer and then a Great Dane who we had for 13 years! After living with such a diverse group of pups, I fell in love! I even have two dogs of my own. My Great Dane (Blue) and my Golden Retriever (Mender). Both of my dogs are the light of my world! 

I always knew that I wanted to work with dogs in some sort of way, I just was not sure in what aspect. I then met someone back in 2012 who was raising a dog for Canine Companions for Indepence. I instantly fell in love with the organization and signed up to be a puppy raiser right then. My first CCI dog was named Scarlett. She was the first dog I actually trained. After that, I fell in love with training. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog figure out what you are trying to communicate with them! I also love being able to help a owner and their pup have a better relationship by learning how to better commuincate with eachother.

After raising my first CCI dog, I decided to go to Dog Training school through National K9. The rest is history! :)
