Experienced Handler and Expert Care
Pet care experience
I have never known a life without dogs. My mother is a former 4H kid with a passion for animal care and training, and my nana is an incredible woman who trained and showed dogs in agility and obedience into her 80s. They instilled a love of dogs into me that has only grown over time! I possess a wealth of knowledge from my years growing up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and my dedication to animal handling was strengthened during my time working at a positive reinforcement-based dog training facility. Regardless of your dog's breed, age, or needs, I can provide top-notch services and care to your furry friend. Whether it be long walks through the park, potty break check-ins throughout the day, or overnight house-sitting, I promise to treat your pets as if they were own.
Reviews
Calli was the absolute best! She took amazing care of our dogs and our home, and we are so grateful for her attention to detail, communication and cleanliness. Coming home from vacation and having laundry done and happy, walked dogs was so helpful.
Calli was amazing during her many drop in visits with our two rescues pups while we were out of town! She was patient and knowledgeable about dog behavior, which helped her to form a connection with our behavioral pup. She was communicative with us while we were gone and followed all of our instructions, asking questions when needed. She took great care of the boys and we will definitely be working with her again in the future! Thanks Calli!
Cal is very reliable and responsible and comes from a multi-generational line of pet-obsessed enthusiasts. From an early age she regularly cared for family dogs and pet sat for other friends and family. She simply “gets” it because of the breadth of her exposure—whether she’s setting boundaries with an excitable puppy, taking it slow with a nervous rescue, dealing with a sundowners senior, or burning off energy with a ball or tug toy for a budding athlete, or low-key bonding with a reticent feline. My senior dog has a list of meds a page long but still likes a good long walk daily and Cal handles it just as I would on my best day.
Calli is a true animal lover through and through. I have trusted her with my pets for many years and never worry about my pets when she is on the job. Her patience with my dogs is exactly what I want if I can't be there! Calli is also great at obedience and rally training with dogs if your pet needs some reinforcement of those skills while they are in her care. I can't recommend Cal enough! *****

The safety and comfort of your pet is my top priority while under my care. I am adept at understanding canine body language and can confidently handle any stressful situations that may arise. I will always keep a watchful eye on your dogs in the home and out in the world, being as vigilant about their well-being as if they were my own.
Information Calli O. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any specific needs or behaviors I should account for. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, but information about energy level, reactivity, or special needs ahead of time helps me to prepare the best care possible for your pet.
A typical day
I love to spend time outdoors with dogs! I'm an avid hiker with access to many great parks and walking trails in my neighborhood. I'll let your dog sniff and explore to their heart's content, and am happy to engage them with their favorite games. Whether it be tug-of-war, fetch, chase, or frisbee, I'm sure we'll have a fun time together!
