About the caregiver

I grew up with a wild variety of animals and eventually became a professional athlete and horse trainer and then vet tech specializing in sports medicine. I like to “borrow” dogs to encourage me to remain active regularly. I typically specialize in working with the more challenging, “special needs” animals. Most of my canine clients have been with either high energy working dogs or highly anxious and/or aggressive dogs.

Caregivers Home

I have a tiny indoor living space, but on a large (~5 acre) property that is mostly fenced. I wouldn’t leave them out unattended, but I do have pens and a 100ft tether line for the escape artists or babies still working on their recall. I attach them to a harness, not a neck collar for safety reasons. I have housed multiple large dogs at once and it’s fine. I turned my garage and the barn into rumpus rooms with toys and gadgets where they can play. I have large crates that can be used if needed, and an escape proof porch where they love to sit outside on (the Huskies love sleeping out there). The feline visitors love it too. All pets will get a GPS tracker on arrival, just in case someone tries to make a break for it or is an exceptional hider. There are interior and exterior cameras on at all times. Dogs must be able to go up and down stairs! Or be small enough for me to carry them, so <50lbs ideally. The barn has a heated wash rack which is currently set up for doggy baths, or at least a hose off if we get muddy playing. I don’t do proper “grooming” services, like hair cuts and breed specific styling, but I can definitely give baths, blow outs, brushing and nail trims. If requested, fee will vary depending on difficulty and time.
