Pet care experience

Your dogs second favorite snuggler!

My family always had dogs since I can remember. I hardly miss any opportunity for some dog pets. In the past, I did an internship at a veterinary clinic, and volunteered at an animal sanctuary. I am experienced taking care of young and old pups, and simple medical care is no problem. I have worked at an equine therapy farm and also gained skills on a high country station in NZ working with Clydesdale horses and herding dogs. Since living in Bend, I have started to walk and sit dogs more and more and can’t wait to get to know your dog!

Pia has been walking and caring for our 20-month-old Golden Retriever, Alfie, for nearly a year, and we couldn't be happier. She takes him on long walks, takes him swimming, plays fetch with him, and gives him the exercise and attention he needs. She even cared for him in her home while we were away on spring break, which gave us complete peace of mind. The best endorsement I can give is Alfie's reaction whenever she arrives - he completely loses his mind with excitement. It's obvious how much he loves her, and it's equally obvious how much she cares about the dogs she works with. Pia is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely great with animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or pet sitter.

Pia is such a natural with all animals and pets always respond so well to her. I have seen her make connection with dogs who won’t go near anyone but their owner. I have seen her befriend multiple street dogs and she rarely misses an opportunity to snuggle a dog passing by on a walk with their human. She is so sweet to every dog and treats each one as if it were a beloved family pet of her own. Pia loves being in the company of dogs and gets great joy out of seeing their joy.

Schedule

I’m working as a freelancer photographer. Dogwalking and boarding is giving me the perfect balance of getting outdoors and an opportunity to give all four legged friends a great time which always multiplies my happiness! Luckily, working as a photographer gives me a lot of flexibility on when I’m available.
