Availability
My consulting schedule works well alongside pet care, and I intentionally keep my calendar manageable instead of stacking bookings from morning to night. That gives me time to actually enjoy the dogs in my care—which is kind of the point.

About Felix L.
Communication

Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
I start by learning your dog’s routines, communication style, and any quirks I need to know before you hand me the leash or keys. I’m comfortable navigating busy neighborhoods, creating space around triggers, changing routes when needed, and adjusting to the dog in front of me. In your home, I respect your space and follow the routine you’ve established. If a dog stays with me, I keep things low-volume, structured, and easy to settle into.

Information Felix L. would like to know about your pet
Every dog has their own operating manual. Tell me their routines, leash manners, favorite words, motivations, triggers, neighborhood nemeses, and anything else you’d want me to know before we head out. They don’t need perfect manners. I just want to learn their version of Webster’s Dictionary so we’re speaking roughly the same language. And yes, strong opinions about squirrels count.
A typical day
Some dogs want to move, so we’ll pick up the pace and turn the neighborhood into a workout. Others are neighborhood inspectors who prefer a slow sniff safari. I love finding the hidden gems inside concrete jungles—green patches, pocket parks, quieter streets, and places where we can slow down and let dogs be dogs for a bit. For dogs staying with me, the rhythm is simple: explore, play, eat, chill, repeat.

Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Felix—your neighborhood walker, drop-in sidekick, and occasional host for the right dog. I’ve raised and trained champion Boxers for over 20 years, so high-energy dogs, big personalities, and stubborn negotiations are familiar territory. My experience includes AKC Canine Good Citizen puppy classes, German Schutzhund foundation work, and advanced off-leash obedience. I split my time between consulting and pet care, and genuinely enjoy getting out into the neighborhood with dogs—whether we’re covering some ground, hunting down a hidden patch of green, or letting a curious neighborhood inspector decide which direction today’s sniff safari is taking us. After years of corporate meetings, I’ve learned dogs are usually easier to negotiate with anyway.
Reviews
We are so grateful to have found Felix! We asked him to help get our high-energy puppy used to in-home daycare, and he has gone above and beyond from day one. Before starting, Felix provided a detailed, thoughtful plan of how he intended to introduce Loki to his routine, which immediately put our minds at ease. After each session, he follows up with thorough feedback on how it went. He even takes the extra time to share practical tips and exercises we can practice at home to help Loki feel more comfortable in new environments. Loki is a work in progress, but Felix has been incredibly patient and genuinely willing to work with him to help him get the support he needs. We couldn't ask for a more attentive or dedicated dog sitter!
Monty loved his weekend retreat at Felix’s! He always loves sun bathing and joining in on whatever Mabel is doing. I appreciate that Felix sends detailed updates throughout and that I don’t need to be worried about anything happening to Monty while I’m out in the mountains!
Felix runs a well organized, dreamy dog oasis. Our young MAS has tons of opportunity for socialization and fun. Felix also takes the time to positively reinforce good behaviors and build in routines that easily translate to our home and lifestyle.
Felix is very observant and sensitive to the dog. He's also very responsive and responsible. It was great to be able to trust him so thoroughly
