Availability
Because I am a grad school student, my schedule may change periodically but as of now I have an increased amount of availability! The best times for me currently are any weekday mornings/early afternoons (excluding Monday and Wednesday until April 20). I also hope to have some availability to board dog-friendly pets beginning in May!

About Olivia D.
Safety, trust & environment
Whether you want your pup working on skills like loose-leash walking or just strolling along, I can adapt to whatever routine you keep for your pet. My top priority is safety. I avoid meeting new dogs on leash and will advocate for your pup’s space if needed. My second priority is fun and enrichment for your dog! If boarding, my dog will be around to keep yours company. She is fully crate-trained and sleeps in her crate at night and whenever we are not home. We love walks, spending time in nature, and enriching activities like scent work, puzzle toys, and learning new tricks!

Information Olivia D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any special needs or behavioral quirks your dogs may have! For boarding, dog friendly animals would be needed. On walks or drop-ins, I’d accept any dogs who are okay with strangers. My dog does not need to be present for walks or drop-ins, but if your pup is particularly social, I could certainly bring her along.
A typical day
A typical day in our house includes lots of dog-centered activities. When the weather is good, we like to explore Stoney Creek Metropark, go on new walks, train outside, and hangout in the backyard. My dog is off-leash trained in the yard but we also have a 50 ft long line for dogs that may not be! On rainy days, we like to do training outings in dog friendly stores, take neighborhood walks, and provide mental enrichment. Our dog also may or may not be a pup cup regular at our local ice cream shop.

Experience with puppies/large dogs!
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a Masters of Social Work student at Oakland University that has been dogsitting/walking for over 4 years. I have experience with many different breeds, and I am currently in the process of training and raising my own 9-month old female golden retriever puppy. I am by no means a professional trainer, but I am training my own dog through a reputable training company and can certainly aid in giving consistent direction to any dogs or puppies in training. I have a soft spot for crazy puppies and large happy dogs (even if they have lots of energy). My puppy also knows how to be gentle with senior dogs and has experience staying/cohabitating with them. If your dog is friendly and I happen to have an extra set of hands that day, I would love to bring my pup along to either play or walk.
