About Us
Our extended Midtown Mutts family consists of carefully hand picked, wonderful dog walkers and pet sitters. All of our employees undergo a background check and extensive training. All of Midtown Mutts employees are insured and bonded through the company and use a GPS “Check In” and “Check Out” for every dog walking and pet sitting job. We take great care in the consistency of excellent pet care among all of our staff.
Philosophy and Mission
We believe that every animal has their own unique needs and that in addition to their physical needs, their emotional and mental needs are equally important. At Midtown Mutts, we put a strong emphasis on learning and education, from hiring and training our staff to continuing our training education. We stay up to date on the latest science on behavior and learning. It is our mission to be industry leaders in providing safe, stress free, professional and compassionate pet care. We are dedicated to providing humane, force free and science based, positive reinforcement dog training.

Cassi is a certified trainer through Karen Pryor (KPA-CTP) and the Victoria Stilwell Academy (VSA-CDT). She has spent her life around animals. At a young age, she began riding and taking care of horses. As a child, always bringing home kittens and strays, begging to keep them. She began pet sitting and house sitting for family and neighbors at the age of 12. She began working with children as an ABA behavioral tutor while working towards her BA in psychology. After some wildlife inspired travel to India to see tigers and Africa to see mountain gorillas in the wild, she decided to use her background in behavioralism and her love of animals to start Midtown Mutts.

Lindsay Prout
Trainer
Lindsay is a graduate of the University of Washington Applied Animal Behavior certification program. Before transitioning to Midtown Mutts, she worked in the Behavior Department at the Sacramento SPCA helping struggling dogs find their forever home. At the shelter she worked with dogs experiencing a wide range of behavioral challenges, but especially loved working with young and rambuncious dogs as well as shy dogs who needed help coming out of their shell. Lindsay is passionate about teaching pet owners why their dogs do the things they do and how to use reward-based training methods to both achieve their training goals and deepen the bond with their dog.
