A Friend for your Canine Companions

Pet care experience

Does your furry friend have excess energy? Does your pup need to get out of the house and explore? I am a high-energy and reliable walker/sitter with over 10 years of experience with animals. I would love to play outside and go adventuring with your dog, or hang and play at home with any pets who need a friend! I am an active walker, hiker and runner and enjoy being active whenever possible. I have what it takes to provide your pet with the activity levels that they need, a well as my own pup to keep them company if that is preferred. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have a close extended family who have always had many dogs. I am caring and compassionate towards all animals, and take the time to understand their needs and habits. I often spend time playing and caring for my own family's dogs, and have spent time dog sitting for my extended family. I also have my own puppy now and adopting her is the best decision I have ever made! I am very in tune to her behaviors and ways of communicating, and am constantly learning more every day to bring in to my work with other animals. If your pet is looking for a friend to play with, my puppy is more than happy to join in on my sitting/walking! She is always excited to meet new friends, and is super friendly with dogs, cats and people. She has yet to meet other types of pets but is very gentle and curious so would love to meet and play with anyone! She also understands when it is time to give them their space or leave them be if I tell her to.

Safety, trust & environment

My puppy and I spend a lot of time outside in our yard or playing/training inside of the weather is not great, and go on daily hikes and runs. We have a few regular routes we take in the area, as well as a continuously growing list of new places to check out!

Information Michaela O. would like to know about your pet

What energy level does your dog have? How well do they get along with other animals? What commands do they know well and what positive reinforcements do they respond best to? What are their favorite games to play?

A typical day

I love to take walks in town and state parks. Your dog and I will have a great time adventuring through the woods and exploring trails around the area. I also love to run on back roads and in small neighborhoods when possible. I enjoy playing with dogs and would love to play fetch or frisbee.

I have a minimum of 2 days fully off of work that are completely dedicated to all things pet-related! I already have pet care as the primary focus of my regular daily routine with my own puppy, and can easily flex our routine to fit your pet right in.
