Introduction

My ultimate goal in watching your loved ones is to provide you the ability not to worry about your dogs or cats while you’re away. I’m experienced with multiple dogs of any kind and CPR and first aid certified. I also will watch pets with issues such as separation anxiety or aggression. Will also make sure any and all medications are administered. In addition I am a certified CCDT dog trainer.

I put in a request for a conversation and within 5 minutes got a phone call. She was so thorough talking me through everything. I have a dog who is extremely reactive and recently aggressive. I felt like I was failing him with no help. But, we’ve scheduled evaluations and we’re on the road to better things! I’m so excited to see how my dogs behavior changes and have this help! I will update after training:)

Life in the Ruff!'s reply

I am so sorry I was dealing with a family issue and forgot to call you. I’d like to offer you a free evaluation and one free session to make up for my no show. I also sent a text, and you can reply to that if you’d like to do that. Once again, my sincere apologies.
