Professional Dog Trainer
Hi, I’m Olga! Dogs stay in private rooms-not crates -for a calm, home-style boarding experience. I'm insured! I share my home with my Border Collie, Elsa, who trains in herding, frisbee and agility and helps me stay active and consistent in my training work. Although I have experience with high-energy breeds, I truly welcome dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities -from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Every dog is treated as part of the household while maintaining clear routines, supervision, and individualized care. I keep boarding small and intentional to ensure safety, low stress, and plenty of attention. Dogs enjoy regular potty breaks, enriched walks, structured play, and rest time. If needed, I can also reinforce training skills such as leash manners, confidence building, and basic obedience during their stay. My goal is simple: to create a safe, peaceful place where your dog feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for -just like one of my own.

Ratings and reviews
Olga was great with our two dogs while we were away for the weekend! She sent us daily updates and we will definitely book her again!
Olga did a fantastic job with our dogs. She was super communicative and timely. We look forward to booking with her again!
Olga was great! Levi loved his stay there.
Olga made Izzy part of her family while watching her. We felt great knowing Izzy was having a good time. She also improved several commands and behaviors while staying with Olga. We plan to use her again the next time we need a sitter.
Olga was great with Otis and incredibly accommodating throughout his stay! She was able to take him a day earlier than originally planned on very short notice, and when our travel plans home were unexpectedly delayed, she was so patient and understanding about us needing to add an extra day as well. I really appreciated her flexibility and how easy she was to work with. I would absolutely use Olga again in the future if the need arises!
I’m so glad to have found Olga to come check on my Sunny girl during the day so she can go potty while I’m at work! Sunny is pretty shy but Olga is a pro and can navigate her quirks. I highly recommend Olga to take care of your pup!

Schedule
I’m offering full-time, home-based dog boarding starting this summer, allowing me to provide consistent supervision and high-quality care throughout the day. Each dog receives regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and individualized attention tailored to their needs, creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Located on the border of Raytown and Lee’s Summit, our home offers a safe and pet-friendly environment. We have a fenced 0.5-acre backyard with plenty of space for exercise and training. During drop-ins and walks, I prioritize calm, confident handling and always tailor my approach to each dog’s comfort level. I’ve invested years into understanding dog body language and effective training methods, which helps me support dogs of all personalities, especially those needing better leash manners, confidence, or structured enrichment. Whether I’m walking your dog, stopping in for care, or providing a training session, your pet will receive personalized attention, safety, and compassion every time.

A typical day
I love keeping dogs active and engaged, so a typical day includes structured walks, enrichment games, and fun training moments. I enjoy playing fetch, disc games, and light agility, as well as practicing simple tricks or obedience skills. Walks may include neighborhood routes, trails, or dog-friendly parks—depending on what your dog enjoys most. My goal is to create a balanced mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and bonding.

- It’s important for me to understand your pet’s needs before we start. Please share their age, energy level, behavior traits, allergies, medical needs, and any training goals you have. I also want to know how they respond to other dogs, people, and distractions, as well as any routines or cues you already use. This helps me tailor walks, drop-ins, and training sessions specifically to your dog and keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.
