About: Hi! I’m a proud husky dog dad who believes every dog deserves kindness, structure, and a little fun along the way. I focus on building trust through stern positive reinforcement—that means lots of praise, gentle guidance, exercise and treats (when earned!). Whether your dog needs a calm walk, high-energy play, or just someone who understands their quirks, I’m here for you As a dog dad who cares for my pup since 4 months old myself, i understand the struggles of house training and making sure exercises are fulfilled everyday to keep our pups healthy physically and mentally. I trained my husky from obedience training to performative tricks like “play dead”. I believe in creating a safe, relaxed, and fun environment where pups feel at home annd thrive—even if they’re away from home. I meet them where they are and build real connection and trust. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family. I’d love to help. ⸻ Let me know your pup’s needs, quirks, and favorite things—I’ll take care of the rest. As a house dad, I have a flexible and consistent schedule while my partner works full time. I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 3 PM, which makes me a great fit for weekday walks, drop-in visits, or play sessions. I’m looking to use that time for something active and meaningful—and spending it with dogs is the perfect way. Please note: I’m currently unavailable for boarding, but I’m happy to provide dependable daytime care during the week. I know how much your dog means to you—mine means the world to me too. I keep things calm and easy so your pup feels safe and relaxed. I take my time, earn their trust, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy the whole time we’re together.

14. Emily R.
“I have known Emily for about 4 years now, and one of the things I admire about her is her devotion and charisma with animals. She is a trainer but also a lover of dogs. When it comes to taking care of a dog she knows how to enjoy the company that it brings by going for walks, teaching new tricks or just spoiling them. However, she knows how to be firm when needed so dogs understand their boundaries. Animals love her and respect her.”

19. Taylor F.
“Taylor is truly the most kind generous person that I have ever met. She loves animals and would do anything, and has, to protect them. She will cross the street to meet a dog and they equally love her! If she has a time to be somewhere, she is usually early, she is very loyal and trustworthy person. I would hire her again, with no hesitation!”
20. Felix J.
“I have have known Felix for twenty plus years. He is a wonderful neighbor and a dear friend. Over the years he and his husband have been amazing "Dog Dads" to three wonderful canines - Stogie, Lucy, and Wrigley. The dogs would traveled with them in their vintage motorhome. Amazing adventures all across the country! While at home the dogs had a wonderful yard to play in but were out for walks at least twice a day - rain or shine! Certainly made me feel like a slacker "Dog Mom" at times. We have had many dogs over the years and they have all loved Felix. My current companion Quinn, a soft hearted Newfoundland, thinks he is the best! Quinn recently had a sleep over with Felix and was not so sure he wanted to leave when we went to pick him up. And, Felix got him to take a longer walk than he normally wants to do with me. As a veterinarian I want the very best for all animal companions. Felix is a great guy and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for help with their canine companions.”
