I’ve always loved animals, but dogs hold a very special place in my heart—especially those who struggle with anxiety and fear and need extra patience, attention, and calming care.

My journey began a few years ago in Florida, when I decided to leave my corporate career behind and follow my passion. I started walking and pet sitting dogs, and soon I was referred to a family whose pup struggled with resource guarding. While the family prepared to travel overseas, I worked closely with a trainer to ensure the dog felt safe and supported. During that time, the trainer noticed something I had always felt—that I have a natural calming presence with dogs.

As I continued to work with the trainer’s other clients, I discovered my true calling, providing not just reliable care, but gentle, compassionate support for dogs who need it most. Helping nervous dogs feel safe—and giving their families the freedom to travel and enjoy life knowing their pets are in good hands—is what inspired me to create Calm Canines.
