Treat your pet like my own ♡

Pet care experience

Stay at home dog mom — So I have plenty of time to care for your pet! 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵: rescue pets, nervous, anxious dogs, and/or fearful dogs, bully breeds, senior pets, and dogs with disabilities. I also have 4 years of experience with 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙜𝙨 (both dog and people reactive). I grew up caring for family and friends’ pets, which included: feeding, walking, bathing, training, and overnight care. I've dedicated a lot of time learning about dog behavior to better care for these lovely creatures (as I also have a rescue of my own who is reactive, and I had to train) I love being active and would love to combine my passion for animals with my love for the outdoors. I live by plenty of parks and hiking trails, so they'll get in lots of sniffs, play, and exercise. Overall, I'm easy going, no dog too big or small :) always looking to provide the best care for your pets as I treat them like my own :) Feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I look forward to hanging out with your fur buddies!

Pia was awesome! My dog loved her and so did I. She was extremely kind and understanding. She came through for my family in pinch & we are very appreciative! She responded quickly to my request and kept me updated the entire time of her service. I’m always nervous about leaving my Zoey with just anyone but Pia has such a trusting spirt and i’m glad I went with my gut & chose her!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m all about adapting to each pet and their needs as I believe each one is different. From hikes, to lounging on the couch, enrichment, and other fun physically or mentally stimulating activities for them. I don’t typically take dogs to dog parks, unless you specifically request that. I use lots of positive reinforcement ♡ I’ll always ask about food allergies and if it’s okay to give your pet treats.

Information Pia M. would like to know about your pet

- Are there certain things that make your pet feel scared , anxious or nervous ? - Is your pet stranger or dog reactive? - How does he/she interact with other pets or people when out for walks ? - Any bite history? - Any special needs or attention? - Any allergies? - History of running away?

A typical day

I go on walks on several walking trails nearby along with parks for nature walks. Sometimes I’ll just do a walk around the neighborhood depending on the dog.
