Pet care experience

Dog Trainer/Walker; Adventure Ready

I trained dogs of all ages (mostly young dogs, but seniors too!) for almost 8 years at Petco. I volunteered to walk shelter dogs at Oregon Humane Society and took a bunch of their dog handling classes. I have a ton of leash walking experience and confidence! I’m happy to work with dogs that are still learning to walk nicely and dogs that just need to get outside and enjoy the smells.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to follow whatever instructions you have for your individual dog! Everyone’s needs are slightly different. I’m familiar with most dog gear and am happy to harness up your pooch. Also with summer coming there are times where it might be too warm to go for a walk on certain surfaces. Depending on time of day I will require pet parents are open to alternate activities that fulfill needs without hurting paws.

Katy has been very patient and understanding with our fearful dog. He is still learning and becoming more socialized so she has been helpful with his progress!

Katy is a rockstar, per usual. She’s always there when I need her and keeps my dog company on long work days. I’d like to keep her a secret so she’s always available for me but I guess I’ll share how wonderful she is to everyone else 😊

We love Katy and so does our dog! Her communication is fast and reliable. We love getting the report cards after she does drop ins, always with photos included. We'll keep re-booking her forever!

Please provide me with any details you think are important to share about your pet! Here are some things to include: - What is their typical behavior on walks - Are they dog reactive - Can they eat treats/ do they have any allergies - Are you working on anything you want me to be aware of so I can keep up any in-progress training - Their favorite part of a walk!
