Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle, reliable pet caregiver
I have about one year of hands-on pet ownership experience and have been around animals my entire life. I’ve helped train and care for dogs, including Collies and Hounds, with experience in basic obedience, leash walking, crate training, and puppy training. I enjoy walking dogs and providing enrichment to support their physical and mental well-being. I also love bathing dogs too! I have experience with a range of dog personalities, including puppies, senior dogs, and those with special needs, such as medication schedules or mobility considerations. I’m adaptable, patient, and willing to adjust my care style to fit each dog’s individual needs.
Cat care experience
Esther also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I currently live in an apartment, so I only service for home visits and walking right now. I’m familiar with fenced or semi fenced yards and crating. I have my own dog that I love taking out for walks and training, so if you don’t have a yard that isn’t an issue! I work great when I’m giving instructions in writing or verbal that best helps your doggie!
Ratings and reviews
Esther took loving care of our two dogs while we were gone for several weeks. We could tell how much she loves dogs and how much they loved her! They were happy and healthy when we arrived back home. We would choose Esther to care for our dogs anytime! She is a happy, joy-filled person filled with energy and this is reflected as she cares for them!
Esther is a trust-worthy person who loves animals. She has taken care of our dog when we've been out of town, which requires extra care as he has food-guarding issues and also needs regular medication to prevent seizures. I would not hesitate to recommend her to love on and care for your pet.
Esther would be GREAT caring for your pets. We have two smooth collies who love her to pieces. She's very sensitive to their individual needs. Esther is extremely responsible and you can count on her to give your pets the love and care that they deserve while you are away. She is very patient and has a calming personality the puts everyone at ease. You won't regret having Esther as your caregiver.

Schedule
I try and build my routine that balances and fits my dog and me! This includes daily walks, 10 minute sessions of training, playtime, and decompression time. I also give snuggle and cuddle time, but only if the dog I work with initiates. I also love giving my dog a well balanced diet and hydration especially in this hot weather. I also believe that a dogs world is as big as we allow, and so I love bringing dogs to new adventures, like hiking or a day at the beach. I try to include these at least weekly or bi-weekly. I also love having doggie play dates, and have some minor experience with dogs meeting for the first time!
