Pet Sitter in Manitou Springs, Colorado

Age 30. I provide care for dogs in the CO Springs, Manitou and Woodland Park area. I have references and 16 years of experience with caring for dogs. I am experienced with reactive dogs, young, elderly, small and large dogs. I comply with L. I. M. A. (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive handling and training methodology - learn more at https://....org/) - I am also able to dispense oral medication and am educated in canine first aid. You can reach me at 719 426 .... I charge $14 to walk your dog(s) in your neighborhood, up to three dogs. If you have more than 3 dogs, I will walk them separately for $4 each, three at a time. I spend a full hour during check-ins to provide play-time and mental stimulation. Weekends or on days that I have availability: I can bring your dog to a park/area with other dogs and people for socialization, or I can bring your dog to a nature trail, or a quiet/safe (fenced) area with ample space for getting some extra energy out. I charge $25 for a two-hour minimum time block and $40 for three hours (travel time not included). For social time, I will work with one dog at a time. For trail hiking/solo park, two dogs can be accommodated. I charge $45 per day for full in-house pet sitting with overnights, to include walks for up to 3 dogs. $60 per day if more dogs in household than 3, up to 6. My long-term goals include completing 300 practical hours of training in order to qualify to take the CPDT-KA exam (https://....com). I am looking for an apprenticeship with a CDBC/CPDT-KSA trainer located in the Front Range region of Colorado. I am most interested in becoming a certified service dog trainer for medical alert & psychiatric service dogs, as well as training working dogs in the areas of livestock guardianship, herding, detection and protection.
