Working with animals is my dream job! I have worked with all kinds of dogs and cats, from energetic and playful to senior, rescues and pets with special needs. Every dog and cat has a unique personality, and I enjoy meeting and working with new dogs and cats all the time. I am a loving and reliable companion to all kinds of pets when the parents aren’t available. Before I started my pet sitting and dog walking business in 2019, I volunteered for over a two years walking dogs at the San Diego Humane Society for several hours each week. This gave me hands on experience with hundreds of wonderful dogs that I wouldn’t have been able to work with otherwise. I also volunteered walking dogs and socializing puppies, cats, and kittens for over a year at Helen Woodward. I was a Red level dog handler-requiring the highest level of skills on their yellow, orange and red scale. I treat all animals with love and respect as if they were my own. I am a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider (CPACP) with PACCC and I am also certified with Pet Sitters International. I have a Certificate of Completion of Cat and Dog First Aid including CPR from the San Diego Humane Society. I also am a Fear Free Certified Professional (Fear Free Elite), and I have a Certificate of Completion from the Fear Free Shelters Program. Their mission is to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS) in pets (both dogs and cats) by inspiring and educating the people who care for them. I have hands-on training experience with many dogs and am actively training my dog, Roxy, toward the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen certification. I am also currently pursuing my professional dog trainer certification through the Victoria Stilwell Academy. Making sure that pets are safe, happy and healthy is my priority.
