Compassionate & Experienced

My love for animals began early on once I rescued my first childhood pet. Throughout my life I have walked and taken care of animals however, my love grew insurmountably when I rescued my first dog (Gordy) myself. Gordy and I loved walking, hiking, going on adventures, and snuggling. Unfortunately, in November 2024 he was diagnosed with a variety of complicated health problems and passed away in April 2025. That journey led me have experience in handling diabetic dogs (giving insulin, being aware of behavioral changes, and giving medication). I also have some experience/knowledge in dog training as Gordy was a canine good citizen. I am acutely aware of how to successfully walk and handle hyperactive pups and love to provide other enriching activities. I am communicative and love interacting with both dogs and humans and I find it important to gain the trust of you as I know all too well how much your pup means to you.

Boarding • Jul 12, 2025

Casey was so friendly, communicative, and attentive while boarding my dog with a recent wound. She made being away from my dog as painless as possible and was even accommodating to the last minute boarding request. 10/10 would recommend!!

Safety, trust & environment

While I do live in an apartment, I have access to a number of parks in the Troy area while also willing to travel to surrounding areas for more fun.

A typical day

I want to make sure your dog is both mentally and physically stimulated. I can provide a variety of enrichment toys while also creating time to walk and exercise the pup. I will incorporate my knowledge of training into our walks as I find it important that we build a trusting and loving relationship.
