15. Kyra L.
“Kyra has helped us with our own dogs and with several of our short term foster dogs. I trust her completely with our two barky GSDs. She has an awesome energy. I've seen her walk a reactive 90lb Rottie and distract when necessary and maintain a happy playful demeanor that keeps the dog from escalating. She is able to read dog behavior to intervene when necessary in a play group, too. She was super calm with a high energy Jack Russell mix that had a tendency to get over stimulated. Highly recommend. Kyra is very responsible and experienced! Five stars.”

18. Ashley G.
About: I’ve trained many pups, and can tell you that it’s not fun or exciting but always rewarding. I know the signs of all health problems and can accommodate accordingly. Ever since having a dog myself I understand how much you have to sacrifice for them, much like a child. Although a child doesn’t poop or pee on the floor, or chew up the baseboards. I will always fit pet care into my schedule wherever I can. I can walk them right before class, or take them out to play while I do homework. If there is a fenced yard I will sit outside and watch to see if your dog will get into any trouble. I have a super reactive dog and will never leave him unsupervised even if it’s just on the front porch with the gate closed.


19. Jasmine G.
“Hi, Jasmine is very caring, patient, and energetic with my two dogs. She took time to not only gain the trust of my two dogs but she also gives them authentic love and care. She’s the Best!”
