My name is Amelie and that paw in my face belongs to Boss, my mutt. I am a professional dog walker and pet sitter. My journey into this work isn't traditional. I began walking dogs as part of my rehabilitation after being hit by a car in 2012. Dogs helped get me out of bed, got me moving and their love, affection and playful personalities helped me mentally and emotionally. This thing I was doing to heal, became something bigger than I anticipated, I decided that if I were to continue in this work, I needed to learn more about the animals in my care. I began taking classes on animal behaviour and haven't stopped since! I regularly take classes, attend workshops and seminars offered by certified and accredited professionals in the field of animal behaviour science and ethology. Details can be found in the education tab
I follow LIMA (least intrusive minimally aversive) protocols and have a fear free & force free approach to animal care.
