Highlights
Pet care experience
big floof mom🐻🐻❄️weekend walker
I’ve been a life long animal lover and long time pet owner. Starting at about age 8 as a neighborhood dog walker, to the 5 most recent years I’ve had 2 xl dogs and 1 xs cat. Though I am not a trainer, I have trained my 2 xl dogs to be responsible citizens, through many classes, daily structured walks, and continued to research positive reinforcement training in order to work toward calm minds on the dog’s part. Growing confidence and good decision making skills is my main goal when walking my own pups, starting one at 12 weeks old (he was a major piranha) and the other at 1.5 years when she was already a hard headed extra strong dog. I always strive to ensure each one of my animals gets what they need to be happy and successful. I’m believe in a short leash until you prove you’re ready for more. Fast walker with reasonable sniff stops and love a good pup cup. I walk with hands off leash for easy access to treats, Ziwi mackerel and lamb food as my go to, as well as to lengthen or shorten the leash and redirect as needed. I have experience with gentle leaders, slip leads, and martingale collars.

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with escape artists and runners (the cat) and am well versed in the good ol’ leg through the door or throwing treats ahead of you to avoid mishaps. I tend to be a ‘only let them out of the crate when they’re not crying’ type of a person to train quiet releases in my own home, but am happy to pivot based on individual preferences.
Ratings and reviews
Olga M. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Olga has been a great help with our high-energy, anxious Labrador, Frank! She has an incredible way with dogs and has handled Frank’s quirks with patience and expertise. Olga’s experience with a variety of breeds, behaviors, and training methods really stands out. She’s familiar with different training tools and always ensures she walks Frank exactly the way we prefer, which has helped reinforce his training. Not only does Olga provide a great walk, but she also keeps me updated with detailed reports and pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and cares about each dog she works with. I highly recommend Olga for anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and compassionate walker or sitter!
Olga is the best pet parent, and has always treated mine as she would her own, when caring for my pets. I know I can trust her, and rely on her to keep my pets happy, healthy, and safe. 5/5, highly recommend!
