Highlights
Pet care experience
Puppy Training & Pet Care Expert
Hi, I’m Talena! I've always had a natural passion for dog handling and consider myself an amateur dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement techniques to keep dogs engaged, happy, and safe. Whether your little one needs a high-energy playtime or structured guidance, I'd love to provide the dedicated care they deserve!
Cat care experience
Talena also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow their established routines, secure all entry points, double-check leashes during walks, and keep harmful items completely out of reach to ensure a safe, stress-free environment.
Ratings and reviews
Talena is fantastic with dog language and behavior. They've helped me with my dog and understand her better. Talena is the only person I trust with my dog, to understand and follow what she needs. Very resourceful and respectful of already established routines and preferences.
Talena is the biggest animal lover I know. She is kind hearted and extremely trustworthy. She is the ONLY person I would trust to watch my animals. Talena cares for animals more thoroughly than some people care for their human children. She is also very talented with dog training and helped my teach my doggo some manners when he was young. She has been responsible for caring for my large breed dog and my cat while we were out of town many times. I would hire her again in a heart beat!

Schedule
I work at a local credit union, which provides me with a highly stable and structured schedule. This flexibility allows me to easily commute to your home and dedicate plenty of quality time to caring for, feeding, and playing with your pets in their own comfortable environment.

- Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I am comfortable working with all animals and breeds! My hands-on experience ranges from caring for smaller companion breeds to raising and training my own Belgian Malinois mix, so I am well-prepared for any personality or energy level.
