I am currently job searching and am working to enroll back at Penn State in the fall full time. I usually have appointments scheduled throughout the week and plans with friends/family whenever we have time. When considering booking dog care, I make sure I have the availability for your pup(s) and communicate with you about it.

Safety, trust & environment

My baby dog, Shylo Esch, has been spoiled by my parents with many toys and treats. He is treat motivated from his puppy training, leashed for outdoor walks and goes in his crate when nobody is home. I hold myself to a strong work ethic when caring for dogs by creating a disciplined yet empathetic stance when caring for fur babies or elderly dogs. In my clients home, I closely follow the rules and duties of the care they require to care for their dogs. I set up a meet n' greet with the dog and owner before committing. I like to meet the dog beforehand to see if we are a good fit by interacting, playing with or taking them on a walk with the owner around their usual route in order to gauge their temperament and comfortability with me. I ask various questions about how the owner takes care of the dog, so I can best follow their lead. I ask about daily routine activities, food schedule, treat frequency, walking time, habits, likes, dislikes, etc. I prefer to follow the daily routine and activities that the dog is used to in order to keep them on track while their owner is away.

Information Adriana P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any allergies, medications, dislikes, likes, irritations, skin conditions, abnormalities, etc. Please inform me of their feeding and watering schedule, potty breaks, and walk times. I would like to stay as close to your daily home schedule with your pet as I can for their holistic healthcare. Also, please let me know their favorite toys, treats, napping spots, activities, etc.

A typical day

I love walking my dog to the neighborhood park and playing fetch, chilling in the grass, and letting him run around. We have a super long leash that allows all that activity while staying on leash. My favorite trail walking park is Circleville in State College, PA. I also love taking Shylo for drives and occasionally to get a pup cup (its whipped cream) from Starbucks. When in season, Shylo and I frequent the farmers markets. I also enjoy taking him to Lowe's and Rural King for some training adventures. I take Shylo to restaurants with outdoor dog seating whenever I can. Cuddling with Shylo at bedtime is a must! And cuddling on the couch together is a daily activity. We also play fetch everyday. I train him daily with treats to freshen up the commands we learned in puppy class. These are the things I like doing with my puppy & hopefully your dog will enjoy some of them too!

Pet care experience

As a child, my family had a Maltese since he was a puppy and he lived until the age of 15 years old. His life expectancy was around 7 years old, so he was a senior dog. I learned how to take care of my dog at a young age and was responsible for taking care of him. Now, my parents and I have a puppy named Shylo Esch. He is a mix of Bernese mountain dog and mini poodle. I have attended puppy class with him at Manners N' More in Bellefonte, PA. I also frequently walk my family friend's dog who is a Labrador retriever. I grew up around dogs and learning to and caring for them, I have a deep love for taking care of dogs.

Adriana was very playful with my older dog and they both enjoyed playing with my dog’s squeak toys. Walking was always a part of their daily ritual in the cooler mornings.

She went above and beyond I would highly recommend her to anyone. Our fur babies were happy and well taken care of.
