Safety, trust & environment

Leashed walks in your neighborhood or through the trails of the Wissahickon. Bathing facilities on premises so your pup comes home clean after their adventures! In your home, I'll follow your lead for protocols and walking/play territory.

Information Meg R. would like to know about your pet

Any behaviors you're trying to reinforce or discourage will be great to know so I can support your practice. Dietary restrictions, and any red flags to watch out for on walks.

A typical day

I'm all about breed-appropriate activity and following the pet parent's lead re pet communication, behavior, and education. Most of my experience is with Australian cattle dogs, beagles, spaniel breeds, small terrier breeds, and gentle giants like Bernese mountain dogs and great Danes-- so I know my way around pullers, sniffers, jumpers, and couch potatoes! I have lots of games, activities, and training tricks specific for them, like long runs, hikes, obstacle courses, and tracking games. I'm also open to discovering your pups favorite activities. And a casual walk around the neighborhood is always good, too.

Pets

Calm, Consistent Pet Care

Pet care experience

40 years of experience working with all kinds of animals, including dogs and cats, exotics, goats, chickens, and wildlife. Trained in dog and cat CPR, positive behavior, and nutrition. As a wildlife rescue/rehab volunteer I've fed baby birds and opossums, cared for fawns, and helped prep hawks and owls for release back into nature. A positive experience for our animal companions comes down to consistency, love, and good communication. Ask me about care for seniors, special needs, and exotics.
