Safety, trust & environment

I am very knowledgeable with all types of harnesses, collars, and leashes so I will make sure your dog is fitted properly and safe! Also, I have a lot of experience with feeding dogs and cleaning up after them, so I can make sure your home is spotless! Daily enrichment activities and training is something I incorporate in every service no matter the dog!

Information Kelsey R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues that I can expect! I am willing to work with any dog no matter the behavior! I have a lot of training experience with reactive, anxious, fearful, and overly excited dogs so I am comfortable walking them.

A typical day

I have a lot of experience exercising dogs bodies and minds to make sure all of their needs are fulfilled! I love taking them on walks in new areas to explore new smells! I also have a bunch of games and toys that I can provide to tire them out even if the weather isn’t great or they don’t enjoy being outside! Being a dog trainer I also love incorporating training, whether it’s basic or more advanced skills, into the service.

I will treat your dogs as my own!

Pet care experience

I have worked at a dog daycare for 3 years and I am a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Professional. I have a lot of experience working with all types and sizes of dogs including reactive, fearful, and overly excited dogs, puppies, and those who need training! I put my training practices into every walk to make sure the dog is safe and doing the best they can! I love walking, running, playing ball or tug with dogs, training, and creating a lot of enrichment activities to tire out their brains!
