Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, Dependable, Detail Oriented
Transport, Medications, All Sizes/Breeds/Ages, Any Diet (including Raw) Every pet in my care receives my sole focus during our time together. You can travel with peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are enjoying the comforts of their own routine, sleeping arrangements, walking routes, and meals. I strive to create minimal disruption to your pet’s typical days, provide consistent enrichment, get plenty of exercise in and follow all dietary or medical needs. I am a confident walker, creating strong relationships with each dog in order to provide a safe and fun excursion for your pet and those around us. Reactive dogs are in good hands, and no challenge for me. Backyard play, hiking, and other forms of exercise are all within my wheelhouse. I can walk dogs on/off leash at request depending on local rules. My credentials include over a decade of professional care experience for humans & animals of all ages/abilities. I am in the process of acquiring a certification in R+ behavioral training for canines - this is a completely positive reinforcement based program! I strive to work on communication as a solid base for training. Whether you need a drop in during a long work day, or a week away with the family, I will happily keep your pets cozy until you return.

Safety, trust & environment
While I cannot board pets in my own home, I embrace any and all safety measures instructed, as well as anticipate any safety issues and resolve them before an incident can occur.
Ratings and reviews
August was wonderful! We received pictures of our pups every night, as well as detailed updates, and we can tell our pups were so well looked after. We will definitely be hiring again for our next trip - well worth the money!
August is the best of the best as usual!!
August took care of our two dogs and house sat for us for a couple of nights while we were out of town. I want to express how grateful we are to August for the wonderful job they did. The communication, accompanied with great pictures of the dogs, gave comfort that the dogs were well cared for and that they obviously quickly bonded with August. The house is spotless and we were impressed that August stripped the bed before leaving.
August is an amazing dog sitter!
August took great care of our pups when we were gone. He was very communicative and sent a lot of pictures. There were some unexpected things that came up and he handled them better than we could have expected.
August was outstanding! He followed every instruction that I left. He sent lots of pictures. Most importantly, my pups absolutely loved him. I have used quite a few pet sitters over the years. They were all good, minor issues here and there. August is by far the best. Most importantly, my long-time dog walker said he was great and she has never said that about anyone!
