FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For dog walking, I charge per day, and I give you a discount if you decide to do monthly. For pet sitting I charge per visit.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to dog training school and studied dog psychology and became a certified dog trainer/animal behavior specialist. I have worked at vet clinics for 4+ years and have received lots of medical training.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I grew up having all kinds of different animals. I have always loved them. I took one of my parents dogs to a dog training class, when I was younger, and I really enjoyed, it and decided I wanted to do dog training as a career. I went to school and received my certifications. I went on to work at numerous animal boarding facilities where I became a kennel supervisor. I ran a doggie daycare/training program for a dog grooming facility. I even started my own dog training classes for a big company in San Antonio. I not only did obedience, but I also taught tricks, and a obstacle course class. I went to work for 2 different vet clinics, and got loads of medical and animal handling experience. I currently work full time for a big company, where animals are sadly not involved. But I would still like to incorporate my love for animals, skills and knowledge to do something on the side like pet/house siting and dog walking.
