“I have been surrounded by animals for as far as I can remember. I feel comfortable, safe and happy around them. In 2004, I started my own business in San Francisco, then I moved to Mill Valley in 2011, where I continued to provide my pet sitting, dog walking and training services.
I truly love my job. Dogs are such great companions. They can teach you valuable life lessons such as being adaptable, to forgive and forget, to overcome fear with love, to live in the moment and to play!
For more than 20 years, I learned how to understand the animals' body language and behaviors. I learned to manage and prevent behavioral problems through patience, calm and most importantly by building trust.
Just to add a little bit more, I was born in France, then I moved to Canada, Quebec City, in 1989. I speak French. My husband, Olivier, and I moved to San Francisco in 2003. Olivier did his PhD at Berkeley and he is a medical physicist in Radiation Oncology at UCSF. We have 2 children, Justin & Allison, and 2 dogs, Luna & Ray.
I look forward to meet you and your companion (s)

***I am unfortunately not accepting new clients right now.***
This service includes at least 2 walks a day, love, care and lots of playtime at home. There is no use of crates or cages, unless it's requiered by you. A happy dog is a tired dog, that's my philosophy :) Dogs must be completely housebroken which includes potty trained and no separation anxiety. Dogs must be treated for fleas, ticks and be up-to-date on all vaccinations.
