Comfort Zone Critter Care offers Fear Free®, force-free, positive, reward-based dog training, and pet sitting in your pet’s comfort zone - your home! As a professional pet sitter, dog walker, and dog trainer I am a member of and fully insured and bonded with Pet Sitters International. I am a Certified Professional Pet Sitter from Pet Sitters International. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer

from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers® (CCPDT®). I am a Fear Free Certified Professional Trainer and Pet Sitter. I am also trained in Pet CPR and First Aid. I have been involved in the pet industry in many facets since 1995. I have worked in veterinary hospitals, in a kennel (both as an aide and eventually as the manager), in a doggy daycare, as a pet sitter, a dog walker, and a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. I graduated in 1999 from Rochester Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. In 2019, I obtained my certification through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. In 2020, I obtained Fear Free Animal Trainer certification. In 2021, I obtained Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification. In 2022, I obtained my certification as a Canine Behavior Consultant. In 2024, I became a Licensed Family Dog Mediator (Training). My various positions over the past two-plus decades have given me the opportunity to develop advanced skills in handling animals and interpreting body language. I have experience with a variety of animals, including exotics. I grew up with dogs as a child. As an adult, I have had a dog, 4 cats, a rat, a guinea pig, and various reptiles as pets. I will provide pet sitting and dog walking services (whether you're away from home for business or pleasure, or you are working from home and do not have the time to walk your dog). Not only will I provide much-needed care for your critters, such as food, water, exercise, and any needed medications, I will also give them the love and attention I would give my own pets! Having your critter(s) be able to stay home, in their comfort zone, allows them to be more relaxed in your absence. I will provide private, in-home training lessons for you and your dog. Lessons will be tailored to your dog's needs and topics will vary. I am proud to offer pet sitting and dog walking services in Lancaster, NY, and select surrounding communities. If you’re unsure whether your location falls within my service area, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Please note: a travel fee may apply for certain locations. I proudly offer in-home dog training services throughout the Western New York region—helping pups and their people build better bonds, right where it matters most. I look forward to taking care of your critters in their comfort zone. Welcome to the Comfort Zone Critter Care Family!!

The Problem with Quick Fixes

With holidays approaching, everyone wants the quick fix.

"How do I stop jumping before Thanksgiving?" "Can you fix barking by Christmas?"

I understand the urgency. Really, I do.

But here's the thing about quick fixes - they usually aren't fixes at all.

They're suppression. And suppression is like holding a beach ball underwater.

The moment you let go, it explodes back up, often worse than before.

Real change - the kind that lasts through holidays and beyond - happens when we address what's underneath the behavior.

Why is your dog jumping? What need are they trying to meet?

When we answer those questions, solutions become obvious and sustainable.

Quick fixes might get you through dinner.

Understanding gets you through life.

Comment "LASTING" if you're ready for real change, not just band-aids.

Midday mosey with lovely Luna! 💜
She enjoyed a peaceful potty break, a sprinkle of sniffing, and a little stretch in the sunshine — just what a smart, sensitive girl needs to reset and relax.

Fear-Free care means honoring her pace, her preferences, and her emotional well-being every single visit. 💛
