Pet ownership can be tricky on your own.
At West Sky Hounds, I specialize in providing comprehensive pet care services tailored to meet the unique needs of you and your pets. From daily walks, drop-ins, and basic grooming services, I'm here to make your life easier while prioritizing your pets' health and happiness. As a dog handler with 10 years of professional experience, I specialize in working with dogs of all temperaments, including those with behavioral challenges and physical ailments. I am passionate about enriching the lives of animals that flourish under specialized, one-on-one care.
Happy Pet = Happy Owner.
A common misconception is that a “tired dog is a happy dog’, but the truth is that a fulfilled dog is a happy dog. While there are dogs who thrive in intense physical activity (my youngest dog is one of them!) most dogs just need a little bit of enrichment. This can look like sniff walks around the neighborhood, investigating a nature park, or being scatter-fed lunch in the backyard during a long work day. Dogs who are not having their mental needs met seek gratification and cope in less desirable ways - like chewing on your couch cushions, marking inside, or becoming resource-possessive. These behaviors can strain our relationships with our dogs and, in some cases, escalate into more serious issues. My goal is to enhance your pet’s quality of life, so you can truly enjoy living together.
How I can help.
West Sky Hounds services are provided with an emphasis on fulfillment, engagement, safety, and flexibility. With confidence rooted in experience and ongoing professional growth as a dog handler, I am committed to providing only the highest quality of care. The West Sky Hounds difference is the fact that I view your pet’s care as a collaboration. The most important part of this is keeping open and attentive communication with you, the owner. Email, texting, or communication via the Time to Pet scheduling portal are the best ways to ensure we’re on the same page. Open dialogue is key - no concern is too small, so please feel comfortable reaching out! I’m here to help in any way I can.
