The safety and well-being of your pets is my number one priority. I have taken the following accredited training courses to further my knowledge and experience. I plan to take more relevant courses in the near future.​

• Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification​

  • This course equips pet sitters with a scientifically sound knowledge base in animal body language, dog walking, behavior and training basics, enrichment, home life, travel, administering medications, and more so that they can offer top-level Fear Free care to pets and provide owners with basic support and advice. The Fear Free Certified® pet sitter will be empowered to help educate pet owners on reading dog and cat body language and provide ideas for how enrichment and training can be incorporated into the pet’s environment and routine, promoting not only a calmer pet-sitting stay but also a richer, more fulfilling life. Covering everything from the very first greeting of a pet to creating calmer leash walks to delivering medications in a Fear Free manner and much more!​
