Who we are + our team

About us!

Liz Houle, VSA-CDT

Owner, dog walker and certified R+ trainer

I created Puptown Girl Pet Care to pursue my dreams of working with animals and their humans. Over the years, I am so grateful to say Puptown Girl has grown in so many ways. We have a team of dog walkers, I have become a certified R+ dog trainer through Victoria Stilwell Academy, and now we are moving toward a new online presence to become more inclusive and helpful to pet parents everywhere. My main focus is to help pet parents become empowered with science-based information that the can utilize to have a truly life changing relationship with their pet. I have truly enjoyed becoming part of my local community as well as the online pet care world; advocating for the well-being of all animals, and showing others how they can too. When I'm not working professionally with animals, I'm spending time with my husband, our 2 dogs, and horse, hiking or horseback riding the Oregon trails.

Meet the Team

They say it takes a village! Puptown Girl Pet Care is not just a one lady show; it is a group effort. Meet our team of professional R+ dog walkers:

Hunter is a traveler, tea connoisseur, and animal activist involved in wildlife conservation initiatives around the globe. They've worked with reputable rehabilitation-to-release programs in Perú, Cambodia, and Thailand, and volunteer with local shelters along the west coast. When they're not traveling, Hunter spends their time perusing bookstores, trying new recipes, and hiking with their huskies, Boo and Mochi.

Emma

Emma is currently getting her masters in clinical mental health counseling at OSU Cascades. Growing up she was always around animals, from competing with horses, to helping at her grandparents cattle farm and spending time with family cats and dogs. When she's not in class or walking dogs, you can find her spending time in nature with family and friends or baking at home.

Bria

Bria has been professionally dog walking for several years and has been around dogs and cared for them her entire life. Due to having a reactive dog herself, she specializes in taking extra care of your reactive dogs who might need additional space, time, and redirection when triggered. When she's not walking other people’s dogs, she walks her own large husky/malamute mix, snuggles her cat, goes on hikes, and enjoys yoga.
