Experienced dog caretaker!
Pet care experience
My boys are my life, so I understand that you would also want the best care for your pet! From basic dog walking and love, to working on loose-leash walking and reactivity, and even weight loss- I've got you covered! I've worked extensively with my own dogs and have learned a great deal about these areas. My passion for animals is clear from the start- I am patient and caring and would treat your pup with the same love and respect that I treat my own. I am often available around lunch and early afternoon. As a graduate student, I am incredibly responsible and consistent. All of my training experience has been with positive reinforcement based training. I prefer to use this methodology as I have found it to be incredibly effective with my own dogs as well as many other animals that I have worked with. Should you ask that I work on something else with your pup, it would be using this positive reinforcement based training technique. While I am not a professional dog trainer, I have many years of experience working with various animals, house-sitting for various animals, and enjoying and loving them all!
Reviews
Not only would I trust Hayley with my life, but I would trust her with the lives of both of my dogs! I have two high energy dogs - Goku, a 5 year old Aussie mix and K'nex, a 3 year old border collie - and she safely manages to keep them tired and happy. Goku has a pancreas disorder that requires specific (kind of annoying) feeding protocol and she happily follows all directions. K'nex had shoulder surgery a couple of years ago and I trust her to take into consideration his physical limitations and also to do the rehab exercises that he requires to keep the joint stable and him pain free. Hayley has a keen eye for changes in behavior and I will always go to her when I need some assistance.
Hayley is hands down one of the best pet owners I know. From dogs to horses Hayley has loved and cared for a wide variety of animals in her lifetime and there is no doubt she can handle your fur baby. She knows the importance of an animal's routine and bends over backwards to make sure your pet is safe, fed and happy. She's experienced with all energy levels and personalities, and can easily adapt to best serve your pet's needs. Don't look anywhere else, because I guarantee you'll love Hayley as much as I do.
