Pet care experience
Can I walk your dog? :)
I was previously a manager at a doggy daycare in Chicago, where I worked hands-on with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. During my time there, I gained valuable insights into dog behavior from our top trainers. My responsibilities included socializing puppies, administering medication to senior dogs, providing 20-minute relief walks throughout the day, and preparing individualized meals. After leaving the daycare, my passion for understanding canine behavior deepened, and I began pursuing professional training. I earned my dog training certification through PetSmart, where I later taught group classes. I led a variety of courses, including: • Puppy Class – covering potty training, crate training, predicting behavior, and basic commands • Intermediate Class – focusing on leash walking, stays, and environmental cues • Trick Class – teaching fun and engaging behaviors • Advanced/CGC Prep – preparing dogs and owners for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test I taught these classes for a year before moving to North Carolina, where I now live on a farm and continue my education as a trainer. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, including blind dogs, flood and lab rescues, German Shepherds, Dobermans, mixed breeds, and more. I primarily use positive reinforcement methods but am currently expanding into balanced training to better serve dogs with a variety of needs.

Ratings and reviews
Haley was great! She was wonderful with Peanut and very respectful of my home. She was very communicative with a ton of pics and peanut was very attached! I would 100% recommend Haley and use her again!
Haley worked with me in day care and i can say that she is one of the best dog handlers i have ever seen in person. she is kind, considerate and respectful of the dog's spaces. I would trust no one else more than i trust her when it comes to dogs
Haley and I have worked together in a dog daycare facility for over a year, and she is the most caring person I’ve ever met when it comes to the well being of the dogs she’s interacted with! She goes above and beyond in ensuring a pup is getting the proper treatment, attention, and love. I couldn’t recommend anyone more to care for your dog than Haley!!
Haley is one of the kindest people I have ever met and truly lights up a room when she walks in. Her love for animals is evident in everything she does. Haley has always had a deep passion for animals, and she even left her previous job because she felt that the corporate setting didn't allow for the level of love and proper care that animals deserve. This decision highlights the high standards she holds for animal care. Although Haley has not been my dog walker, she is one of only two people I trust to watch my dog. Whenever Haley is around, she gives my dog so much love and attention, and my dog absolutely adores her. I highly recommend Haley for anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate dog walker.
