My name is Orla and I'm the Allston/Brookline Doggy Nanny! I have serviced over 20 families in the greater Boston area! I'm called The Doggy Nanny because I strive to care for your pets the same way you would and become a trusted extension of the family. Being capable of adjusting to your dog's unique needs and always going the extra mile for them and for you is what truly sets me apart from other walkers. If your dog likes to roll around in the dirt during their walks, not only will I cheer them on, I'll completely clean them off when we come back inside. If your pup likes to sleep in bed with you, when I stay overnight they'll sleep in bed with me too. I'm here to provide literally anything your furry pal might need. The Routine: While you are away on vacation or business trips, your pets will enjoy a routine walking schedule of up to three times a day, day trips to places such as dog parks and puppy play times, and overnight services at your request. Only need one walk or check in while you're away during the day? When walking with me, your pup will get at least an hour to walk and play outside and cuddle inside. How about a new puppy or cantankerous old pooch who needs some basic obedience training? I guarantee that as part of any care routine I always include basic obedience training, and loose leash training while walking. This training covers the basics of "sit", "down", "stay", "come", nipping and chewing (for puppies), name recognition, and sitting patiently while waiting to get food, their leash on or off, or while waiting for a toy to be thrown. I also cover how to deal with dogs that tend to bark a lot when they are anxious or wanting attention. Loose leash training insures that your pup won't pull on the leash and also includes the commands "wait", and "release" for cross walks. I only use positive reinforcement techniques so as to keep your pooch happy, healthy, and showing long term results! If your newest of new born pups needs potty training, I can offer this as part of an all-day-stay program I provide where while you're away at work I am making sure to get your pup outside at least 5 times a day and more if they need so as to help them learn that their place to potty is not inside the house! Once again, I only use positive reinforcement techniques in this training and will never scold your puppy for having an accident. I always guarantee text (or email) updates with pics and videos to keep you fully in the loop with your dog's progress with me. You'll hear about it all; the good, the bad, and the funny! So thanks for reading and I can't wait to meet you and your furry family :) Happy wags!
