Animal Enthusiast/Dog Trainer

Pet care experience

Hello! My names Octavia, I’m a huge pet lover who would love to walk/watch/play with your pup! I currently am dog trainer who’s looking to gain more knowledge on all types of dogs. I own two large breed dogs who keep me on my toes with how active they are. I am super comfortable watching dogs of all sizes. I specialize in behavior modification so I am a great choice if you have a problematic pup. I will accommodate to your pups needs; regardless if your dogs are as active as mine or older and a little lazy. I am able to work with your dog to walk loose leash on walks as well if need be as well. I am not going home for the holidays so I am available throughout Thanksgiving and Christmas. I’d love to walk/watch your pups!

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!

Octavia is terrific - responds promptly, always arrives right on time and takes really good care of our dog, Dudley. Super reliable.

Octavia is awesome. Our dog has a generally anxious personality but he was totally comfortable with Octavia right from the start. She was right on time both times and super reliable - we will definitely be having her watch Dudley again!

Octavia is amazing! Very communicative and knows how to handle dogs incredibly well. Her dog training experience is super key and nice to have. She's been able to help our dog already not react as strongly to other dogs passing by. She's definitely becoming out go to person to take care of our dog in San Jose.
