I’m rich because I have had a diversified petfolio throughout my life. It started with Penny, a black Cocker Spaniel that my parents purchased for me on my sixth birthday. Penny was followed by five more dogs, seven cats, a community flotilla of fish, and one horse; not all at once, but at different times of my life. And with the exception of Penny and my German Shepherd, Jessie, all of my beloved animals were rescues.

I’ve always had a passion for animals and enjoy learning how to understand them, properly care for them in all stages of their lives, and to manage their personality quirks so that they become welcomed family members.

I’ve competed in obedience, agility and rally trials with my dogs and hunter/jumper equitation shows with my horse. I’ve worked in a veterinary hospital tending to patients; bringing a squirming litter of puppies into the world and comforting old friends through their gentle goodbyes.

I have volunteered with local rescue groups and have taken a few rescues into my home temporarily until they moved into my heart permanently. As my awareness grew, I advocated for better animal welfare laws and more humane animal treatment. After a lifetime in the corporate world, I decided it was time for me to put my passion to work and created Crockett’s Critter Care.

This is a calling I take very seriously. I strive to be your trusted partner in pet care. Your pet has a special place in your heart and your life. My duty is to care for them the way you would if you could. I’ve taken my passion and earned the designations to ensure your confidence. I actively pursue continued education in pet sitting, dog walking, Fear Free training, and dog training with a special emphasis in reactive dogs.

Every reactive dog trainer I have met tells the same story – we have a reactive dog! We know the right training is the solution to building an unbreakable bond with your companion. What Davy and I experienced in our training was a game changer. I was so excited by our results that I pursued the necessary credentials to become a Canine Reactivity Specialist to share this program with you.
