BABS K9

I'm Alyssa Buer, owner of BABS K9. In June 2018, I decided to embark on a solo journey and created my very own Dog Walking/Pet Sitting business which offers Dog Walking With A Training Twist*, specializing in reactive dog walks, along with above and beyond high quality pet care! I'm a fully insured, pet CPR+First Aid certified, highly skilled and safety oriented dog walker/pet sitter, well versed with cats, birds, reptiles, small animals, exotics and fish. I have extensive hands on knowledge in dog behavior, socialization and training, cultivated through my professional experience in various areas of pet care since 2008. Services that I provide are: ▪︎ Drop In Visits ▪︎ Dog Walking ▪︎ Overnight Pet Sitting in your home ▪︎ Boarding (Case by case basis, at my discretion. Weekends only. 1 booking at a time. Dog must be dog and cat friendly, crate trained & potty trained.) ☆☆I work full time as a veterinary assistant 4 days per week and schedule visits/walks around those hours. We can work together to develop a schedule that best suits your pet(s)!☆☆ I'm currently a full time veterinary assistant and aspiring veterinary technician. I managed a dog daycare at a dog training facility for 6 years and assisted in dog training classes, working diligently under the supervision of multiple CPDT-KA trainers. I've worked in shelter and in rescue with both dogs and cats. Furthermore, I regularly attend workshops, seminars, courses both in person and online, as well as read up on the latest behavior discoveries, and the most effective, tried and true dog training methods. I have had a ton of opportunity to learn about dogs in depth over the years. From body language to how a dog thinks, different breeds/personalities/temperaments, styles of play/interaction, how to capture/modify behaviors, how to evaluate a dog to determine their social ability, how to work with dogs who display reactivity/undesirable/dangerous behaviors, and how to help an insecure shy dog build confidence. My approach with any cat is to treat them as I would treat my own and make sure my clients cats are recieving attentive, loving care that is as close to their normal routine as possible. I love cats unique, charismatic personalities while also respecting their stoic nature. Whether your cat loves to engage in play, be brushed, recieve pets, or maybe they're a bit shy and would rather not have the pressure of human interaction, I will make sure they have a great and stress free "staycation" while you're away! My current lovely 4 legged family members are Bia, my American Bully, my 2 cats, Cielo & Amira, and last but not least, Knuckles, an African Pygmy Hedgehog. ❤️🐶😺😺🦔❤️
