I am from the United States, now living here in the UK with my husband & daughter for the last two years. I owned and operated a professional pet care/dog walking service in Los Angeles CA for over 11 years, providing a service for high profile people mostly in the Entertainment Industry of Hollywood. Privacy, Trust & Reliability were key components in our successful business. I have a great love for animals, especially dogs & cats. My experience hosts a wealth of knowledge and understanding of dogs & their behavior. I can work with any type of dog, any breed of dog. I have owned two rottweilers, raised a wolfdog from puphood, a staffordshire terrier, and an eskimo dog. I have also had several cats as companions as well. I have experience in animal first aid & cpr. I also have some knowledge of holistic care for both dogs & cats and animal nutrition. I am a reiki practitioner & have experience in animal massage.
