Hello there! I'm a recent graduate from OSU with a passion for animals and a background in understanding their emotions, as reflected in my honors thesis on companion animals. With over 6 years of dedicated dog walking experience, I've become a trusted companion for many furry friends in Corvallis & Philomath. Currently pursuing my master's degree in sport and performance psychology, I bring a unique perspective to the world of pet care, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being, even for our loved companions. My love for animals started early in life, growing up surrounded by a mix of cats, dogs, parrots, and horses. I take pride in my long-term relationships with clients, providing reliable and caring services. Whether it's walking reactive dogs or handling multiple dogs at once (3+), I approach each situation with patience, understanding, and a genuine love for our four-legged friends. Previously, I worked as a rehab tech at a local stable, where I assisted horses in their rehabilitation journey. I have also worked with animals who required medications or had special needs. These experiences have honed my ability to adapt to different needs and personalities, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'm not just a dog walker; I'm a friendly, experienced, and trustworthy companion for your pets. Let's create a paw-sitive experience for your furry family members!
