Pet care experience
I ran my own dog care business for 6 years in California called Wolfgang Petcare, offering off-leash dog groups five days a week and petsitting. I became one of the most trusted owner companies in the Bay Area. . I recently, moved to Ohio where I am accepting new clients for on-leash walks and boarding and am looking forward to building a family of clients again. I am trained in dog walking, positive reinforcement, and pet CPR. I am a life long dog lover and we have a sweet 2.5 year old mix breed named Birdy Diamond, who loves other dogs. I'm currently working part-time but have flexible hours and am available for short-term or long-term scheduling. Ideally, I'd like to have a list of regular weekly clients so folks who need daily or multi-week walks are preferred but I am open to on-call as well. I accept boarding reservations with 1 week notice and will follow up to do a meet and greet to ensure your dog will be comfortable in our home.
Reviews
Dei was our trusty dog walker/dog sitter in Oakland, CA for many years. She had the keys and alarm Code to our home, and we always felt they treated our home and dog with the utmost care. Dei way Always kind, compassionate, and loving to our gal, Bowie, and firm when needed. Our pup loved them tremendously! When Dei made the difficult decision to relocate from Oakland, they made the transition easy for us sad dog owners and pups, by training a new walker and getting us + pup acquainted with her with thorough and thoughtful communication. We highly recommend Dei for any dog care needs!
My dogs went on hikes with Wolfgang Petcare (Dei being “head of pack”) for several years. Best dog-walker we have had. Communication was always super clear, she would point out issues she noticed during the walks that we might want to have checked out, and we loved the end-of-year holiday card photos. Dei is quick to act fast in an emergency, including the time one dog in the pack was bitten by a rattlesnake. We got updates about what had happened, and later a photo of the rest of the hounds patiently sitting in the veterinary ER waiting room while their pal got checked in and treated. Dei is first-rate, gets 5 stars and then some.
I can highly recommend Dei as a dog walker/sitter. My husky, Lobita, loved Die and learned so much from being in their pack. Dei was very sweet with the pack and the dogs clearly had the best time. Dei took my dog on daily hikes but also house-sat for me on several occasions so I can recommend them for both. Dei is a fabulous dog-person!
I have had the great fortune of getting to witness Dei's natural connection, and skill working with every different kind of dog and temperament. Dei has great instincts and knowledge when it comes to walking or caring for dogs, and is able to recognize and then tailor their techniques based on what's appropriate for each one. Dei is also great at communicating and responding to client needs, which is evident in the lasting connections they have built with prior clientele. I strongly recommend Dei for any of your pet care needs.

Information Dei D. would like to know about your pet
I do need to know about behaviors such as bite history, fears, and any other important info to ensure everyone is safe and that I am being consistent with your training routine. No clients with pinch collars or electric shock devices will be accepted.
A typical day
I love going for walks in the woods and finding stimulating activities to keep dogs engaged and busy. A tired dog is a happy dog. We have puzzles to keep your dog entertained and our dog is a great playmate. We also value affections and quiet time so that there is a balance of fun and love. We can make accommodations for older and lower energy dogs.
