    “Belly rubs, butt wiggles, zoomies and love!”

    Lifelong dog lover and owner. From puppies to gray hair :) Volunteer, certified trainer of goofball pups (focus on anxiety/behavior/quirks over tricks), and as you can see Fred (my very social 2 year old black lab) has his own little crew he parties and takes field trips with! Loves meeting new pals too! My prior guy (chocolate lab; not the one pictured with Fred - he’s the guy 40+ pictures down) was diabetic (among other things), so have advanced knowledge and experience providing specialty care/meds/first aid. I’m sure I missed my calling and should’ve taken the veterinarian route in school. Haha. Bottom line is I know how special our dogs are and what they mean to us, so can’t wait to spoil your special buddy!

    My name is Hannah and I am a violinist. I have 4 years of dog walking/sitting experience. I grew up with dogs, but since moving away from home I've realized how important it is for me to have dogs in my life! I love to take walks and use it as my main way to exercise, but I prefer to do it with a canine companion! I can't wait to give some belly rubs to your furry friends!

    “Animals are life! ”

    Hi my name is Amy and I spent the past 9 years as an American Kennel Club certified dog trainer. I have trained well over 300 dogs during my time training, some from the time they were 8 weeks of age until they took their AKC Canine Good Citizen Test to become service dogs. I am happy to have been selected by Wag to participate in their training program and I look forward to building a meaningful relationship with you and your dog!

    “Your dog is family too”

    I am an animal lover at heart who used to run a dog training company. Had to sell it at one point as it was challenging to manage work, girlfriend, and running a company. I still desire to work with animals and jumped on this platform.
