Availability
I work hybrid-remote, so I am available during weekdays for early-morning drop-ins and short walks most days. I am available anytime after 5 on weekdays for longer walks, play sessions, mealtimes, and any additional care. Weekends are very flexible and am happy to do in-home care from Fridays-Sundays, or weekdays upon request & availability.

Safety, trust & environment
When in your home, I will follow any specific instructions you leave for me. I am happy to crate your dog if needed, and am comfortable administering medication or special diets. If you use any training tools, I am happy to use these as I am trained on use for martingales, slip leads, prongs, etc. I am happy to do obedience and training sessions in home or while on walks (structured walk). I am comfortable caring for reactive dogs and will give them special attention and patience. I offer 30-minute and 1-hour drop-ins and walks. Drop ins can include mealtimes, indoor/outdoor playtime, potty breaks, training sessions, and of course cuddles!!
Information Payton T. would like to know about your pet
Meet & greets preferred! I would love to know more about your pet’s personality, whether they are more reserved or hyper, if they like to be pet, etc. If your dog is reactive or has any triggers, I am happy to work with you as long as I am informed! I have personal experience with reactive dogs and will do my best to make your pup comfortable. Can administer medications if needed. I request an intake form to be filled out for new clients.
A typical day
Whether your dog prefers walks or playing fetch in the yard, I am happy to do whatever makes them happiest! I love playing tug with my dogs, as well as throwing the Chuckit ball or frisbee! On rainy days we can play inside with toys or do puzzles, or even enjoy some frozen enrichment treats. But, if you don’t mind them getting wet, a little rain won’t stop our outside time! Training is also always top of mind, so i love turning obedience into fun games for the dogs. I am happy to work on different commands such as sit, heel, stay, down, etc., while watching your pet! I am also happy to take them to the park or a sniffspot (for reactive dogs) upon request as my car is equipped with a hammock and dog seat belts. I also love relaxing and cuddling on the couch or bed with the more chill or senior pets.

Pet care experience
With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m passionate about providing top-notch care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I worked in the pet care industry for two years and have watched friends/family’s dogs for even longer, and I’m well-versed in training, including obedience sessions that I’m happy to incorporate into my care. I have hands-on experience with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including reactive dogs: my own GSD/Malinois mix is reactive, so I understand the special attention they require. Whether it’s avoiding triggering areas, providing indoor enrichment, or using specific training tools, I’m here to ensure your dog is well-cared for. I’m also skilled in administering medication and preparing special meals or enrichment activities. With my experience in handling high-energy and high-drive breeds like my own GSD/Malinois and Border Collie mixes, I’m fully equipped to engage your dog with play sessions, structured walks, sniff work, enrichment puzzles, and long-line exploration. My goal is to make sure your pet is comfortable, happy, and well-stimulated in my care. I’m also experienced with cats, rabbits, and other small animals, so if you need care for them as well, feel free to ask! Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to going the extra mile to ensure they receive the best care possible.
