Hi everyone! I'm a life-long animal lover with many years of experience working with various dog breeds and animals! I grew up with Australian Shepherds and Aussie mixes (border collie and lab mixes), I’ve had cats, bunnies and guinea pigs as well.

I started fostering dogs, dog sitting and training when I was 10 years old. I am now 25, so I’ve had many years of experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities from German Shepherds, Vizslas, Shih Tzus, Goldens, Terriers, and countless mixes of all energy levels.

I was active in 4-H working closely with various animals where I also took dog-training and veterinary science classes. Animals have always been a part of my daily life.

I worked as an assistant dog trainer for 5 years, teaching puppy, beginner, intermediate, and advanced obedience classes. I also trained and competed in dog agility at all levels.

I raised two of my three dogs from puppyhood myself, and I am confident working with everything from high-energy dogs, to calm, easygoing companions.

I am very active, so I can take dogs on long walks, runs or bike rides. I trained my own dog to run safely next to the bike and can help introduce that skill to other dogs if appropriate.

And if your dog loves frisbee, we’ll be instant friends - I’m great at throwing the frisbee thanks to my own frisbee-loving dogs!

I am originally from California, now pursing my masters degree in Medical Physics here in Belgium, where my mother is from. I speak English and I am currently enrolled in Dutch courses.

I want pet owners to feel completely confident that their animals are in good hands. I’m a true animal lover who misses having my pets with me, so spending time caring for someone else’s pet is genuinely fulfilling.
