How did you hone your craft?

I’ve gained extensive, hands-on experience by running my own nationwide and international pet transport and rescue operation, Rides 4 Paws Transport & Rescue. Over years of daily work with dogs and cats of every temperament and need, I’ve refined skills in safe, low-stress travel, animal handling, and behavioral support. Continuous education in animal behavior and constant real-world problem-solving on the road have shaped a service that’s both expert and deeply compassionate.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Stay patient and consistent. Animals thrive on routine, calm energy, and clear communication. Whether you’re introducing new environments, crate training, or traveling, keep schedules predictable, reward good behavior, and give them time to adjust. Your steadiness builds their confidence and makes every experience—from daily walks to long trips—less stressful and more enjoyable.

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

Every animal I transport or help rescue is treated like my own. From cross-country drives to international flights, their comfort and safety come first—always with extra love, soft words, and plenty of paw-sonal attention.
