K9 Services and Consultation

That Rings a Bell: K9 Services grounded in Psychology

As a marriage and family therapist and counseling psychologist doctoral candidate, I know that pets play an important role in the family.


I am happy to provide a variety of services for your dogs that are grounded in behavioral approaches with consideration for their physical and emotional wellbeing.

Pet Sitting:

Overnight care for your pets in the comfort of your home.

Begins at $35/dog/night.

Our Services:

All of our Pet Care services require a meet and greet. These brief appointments provide the opportunity for me to meet you and your pups to ensure that we can provide the level of care and best services possible.


For Pet Sitting Services, I am only able to sit for pets that can comfortable be alone for 4.5 hours at a time.


Presentations and therapy dog visits are best arranged with a 2 week prior notice.

30-60 minute walks help keep your pups active and healthy!

Begins at $20/walk, $15 drop in visit.
