Pet care experience
Animal Enthusiast/Dog Trainer
Hi! I’m Octavia — a dedicated animal lover and professional dog trainer living on a sanctuary farm. Being surrounded by animals daily gives me a deep understanding of pets and their individual needs. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and today I own two large breeds who keep me active and tuned into dogs of all sizes and temperaments. As a trainer, I specialize in behavior modification and loose-leash walking. Whether your dog is high-energy or calm and reserved, I tailor my care to fit their personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I’d love the opportunity to do the same for yours. I’m available throughout Thanksgiving and Christmas, so you can enjoy your holiday travels knowing your dog is in experienced, loving hands.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my top priority. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make sure your dog is secure, comfortable, and well-cared for. I use the appropriate tools and strategies to ensure a positive and stress-free experience for each dog in my care.
Ratings and reviews
Octavia is amazing! She is definitely an animal whisperer. She knows the dynamics between my two dogs and gain their trust right at the first visit, which is unusual for Kwai, the shy one. She’s busy but makes sure a plan is put in place to provide the best care.
Octavia is the best!
Octavia was wonderful taking care of our dog. She was communicative, friendly, and obviously Brett caring about our pup. She took good care of our home as well. Thank you Octavia!
My dogs can be a handful but from their very first introduction, they loved Octavia and she was so good with them! She's a lovely person and a great caretaker and I'm happy to have found someone I trust.
Octavia was awesome! She stayed in our house for 6 days/nights to take care of our mini aussie who has a foot injury and is taking pain medication. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Octavia and all went very smoothly. She left the house spotless as well which was not expected but a nice surprise! Thank you, Octavia!!
Octavia was amazing! She was so loving and sweet with my big girl who was recovering from surgery. I had no worries leaving her and Im so happy to have met her. Octavia was great!

Schedule
I work with dogs every day as a professional trainer, so pet care is naturally part of my routine. I specialize in supporting pet parents with high-energy or reactive dogs and would love to help those who need an experienced hand when it comes to walking or caring for their pups.
