I grew up right here in Albany. As a kid I had several beloved cat companions, and enjoyed the company of my friend's dogs in the neighborhood. When I was 20 I adopted my first dog, Mia the Husky, from the Humane Society. I quickly fell in love with all things dog!
A few years later I hired Hounds on the Hudson, a local dog walking company, to walk Mia while I was at work. After only a month or two I ended up quitting my job and working for Hounds on the Hudson as a dog walker and pet sitter.
Since 2012 I worked for Hounds on the Hudson in various roles: walker, playgroup leader, pet sitter and boarding transporter. I gained so much knowledge about the dog care business as well as becoming the calm and confident caretaker I am today.
I've had the opportunity to work with such a wide variety of dogs - from Great Danes to Chihuahuas, from weeks old puppies to seniors that need extra care and attention, from gregarious pups to more reserved dogs that needed a gentler approach. I love taking care of them all!
I decided to branch out on my own and start my own dog walking and pet sitting company - The Peaceful Pup Dog Care - in 2020. When I thought about where I saw myself in the future, I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to be working with animals. I had eight years of experience and I decided it was the right time to step out on my own!
I was inspired by my current dog Sasha, the black and white husky/shepherd mix you see in the pictures, to name the company "The Peaceful Pup Dog Care". Sasha was my assistant for several years - coming with me on my daily walks and helping me instill a calming energy. She is really the original peaceful pup. Now that she is twelve, she's not able to help out the way she used to, but she enjoys her new role as at-home office assistant.
I am so excited to be starting this new chapter and to continue providing compassionate and loving care to all the local animals and their parents.
I look forward to working with you and creating a community of new friends, both animal and human, here in my hometown of Albany, NY
My goal is to provide a service that meets the needs of each individual animal; whether that be your dog, cat, bird or fish. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach because I understand that every animal has different needs.
When I'm working with dogs I believe it is important to set them up for success - to me that means understanding the behavioral, physical and mental needs of each dog and working with them to make their experience with me a positive one.
I form a close relationship with each dog - I want them to feel confident, safe and content when they are in my care.
I offer several service options for your dog's walks. While working over the past ten years as a dog walker I have learned so much valuable information about how best to deliver a great service to each dog. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, a high-energy game of fetch in your yard or a slow amble around the block and cuddles, I want your dog to get the most out their time with me each day!
The Peaceful Pup Dog Care was born out of the desire to offer holistic care to local pets and their parents. That means that I don't just take your dog for a walk but use their time with me to reinforce positive behavioral and obedience skills and offering structured socialization - whether that be group walks with other dog friends or working one-on-one with your dog to address their specific needs.
I take great joy in forming a close relationship with your pet and you, and take my role as caretaker very seriously.
Above all, I want to see happy and healthy pets and happy pet parents that feel safe and confident while their animals are in my care.
