Pawesome to meet you!

A Little About Me

My interest in behavior started long before my dog training career. I majored in psychology and have always been fascinated by how individuals learn, communicate, and build confidence. That curiosity naturally carried into my work with animals.

With 13 years of experience across veterinary medicine, pet sitting, dog training, and grooming, I bring a well-rounded, behavior-informed approach to caring for animals with different personalities, sensitivities, and needs.

I am constantly studying, reading, listening to podcasts, and attending seminars!

Why I Started Pawsitivitaye

After previously needing care for my own fear-reactive dog and bearded dragon, I experienced firsthand how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away.

I created Pawsitivitaye to provide the kind of care I'd want for my own pets: patient, personalized, communicative, and rooted in positive reinforcement.

My Approach

I believe care should meet each pet where they are!

Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a couch potato, a sensitive friend building confidence, or somewhere in between, my goal is to help them feel safe, supported, and understood.
