FREYA, OWNER

As a premier pet care provider with over a decade of experience, I have called the Monterey Peninsula home for 30 years and have the local knowledge to make your dog smile.  Offering pet sitting, dog walking and an elevated wedding pet concierge service — more than a wedding pet attendant, every detail is custom crafted around your dog's unique needs.  Whether your dog thrives on a trail adventure in Garland Ranch, leisurely walks on Carmel Beach or simply lying in the sun, your pet will enjoy time spent by my side.​

​

With a degree in Marine Biology from UCSC, I worked 10+ years in the animal husbandry department at the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium.  Specializing in positive reinforcement training, I cared for and trained sea otters, giant octopus, sharks and rays.  Today, I apply those same gentle principles to every dog I meet, creating a calm, trusting and tailored experience. My passion is working with animals —  ensuring your dog receives the highest level of professional, dedicated care.

​

​Always happy to go the extra mile for your companion, I offer flexible scheduling across weekdays, weekends and evenings to perfectly accommodate your lifestyle.  ​Happy Dog Carmel is based in beautiful Carmel, California.​​​​
