- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After the customer contacts me via Thumbtack, I give them my cell number and email address. Texting is also encouraged. Then we set up for a meet & greet, for pet sitting, visits, overnights; and we set up an assessment for dogs needing obedience or behavioral modification. Once we have determined your needs we can decide on the cost; and then we book the upcoming dates.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 20 years experience in the animal industry. I have learned about training, behavior, husbandry, whelping etc. I am always reading and adding to my knowledge and understanding of animals in general. Most of my training has been hands on from running a successful boarding kennel in Maine, working multiple grooming jobs and being head of small animals and birds at Petco. They have all been a part of my growth. I never had a dog fight or bite at the boarding and daycare facility. I am very thorough in my assessments.
