About My Self: With a decade-long tenure in the legal industry within esteemed organizations, I embarked on an unconventional journey driven by my profound love for animals. Transitioning from a legal career to pursuing my genuine passion, I embraced the role of a professional dog trainer and boarder. Over four fulfilling years, this shift stands as the most rewarding decision I've made. My dedication to working with animals transcends mere profession; it's a soul-enriching endeavour that brings unparalleled joy and fulfilment. Fueled by an unwavering passion for dogs and their behaviour, I remain perpetually eager to expand my knowledge in this field. I firmly uphold the belief that with proper training, every dog can evolve into a loving and devoted companion to their owners.My commitment revolves around delivering exceptional care to the cherished furry friends of my clients, ensuring their well-being and fostering happiness and vitality. My goal is to curate a positive and delightful experience for both the dogs and their loving pet parents. Equipped with comprehensive expertise and skills, I adeptly handle the training and boarding of dogs across breeds, ages, and sizes. Whether it's providing a secure environment for a shy or fearful dog or instilling obedience through training, I approach each task with abundant patience and nurturing care.

Rest assured, your pets will receive my undivided attention and care during home visits, and I'll also take care of any necessary tasks to maintain the household, providing you with peace of mind while you're away.

Regarding home security measures during house sitting, I take various precautions to ensure the safety and security of the property:

Maintaining a Presence: I ensure the house appears occupied by adjusting lights, and curtains, and occasionally moving mail/packages. This deters potential intruders.

Securing Entry Points: I double-check that all doors and windows are securely locked before bedtime or upon leaving the house. I'm vigilant about any signs of forced entry or suspicious activity in the area.

Alarms and Security Systems: If provided with instructions, I can manage and monitor any installed security systems, including alarms or cameras.

Regular Check-ins: I make periodic visits throughout the day and vary my routine to inspect the property, ensuring everything remains secure and in order.

Emergency Contact: I keep emergency contact information readily available in case of any unforeseen situations or emergencies.

Communication with Owners: I maintain open communication with the owners, updating them regularly on the status of their home and any relevant information.

Dog Walking Services: As a dog walker, I tailor the length of walks to suit the specific needs and energy levels of each dog. Typically, dog walks can range from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the breed, age, fitness level, and preferences of the dog.

For dog walks, I choose routes and locations based on safety, suitability, and the dog's comfort. I opt for various places such as local parks, nearby trails, spacious walkways, or designated dog-friendly areas within the neighbourhood. These areas offer opportunities for dogs to explore, exercise, socialize, and enjoy their outdoor time while ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for them.
