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.

Animal Enthusiast/Dog Trainer

Pet care experience

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.

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!

Octavia is awesome. She house-sat for us for 2.5 days. It was the first time our dog had stayed without us and he is really anxious. Octavia kept working to get him comfortable, cooked for him, sent us updates constantly and was really flexible in adjusting things to keep him less anxious. Our go-to person for Dudley!
