I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and was the primary caretaker for my two family dogs for three years. I’ve also fostered a high-energy puppy, so I’ve experienced everything from zoomies and training chaos to the calm routines of senior dogs. I enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and tailoring my approach to their personality and needs. My Approach With Dogs I’m naturally calm, patient, and attentive to a dog’s body language. I let dogs set the pace of our interactions and adjust to what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I also provide gentle boundaries when needed, whether on walks or in exciting situations. My goal is always to create a relaxed, trusting environment where your dog feels secure and happy. What I’m Comfortable With • Puppies (I love the energy and play!) • Seniors (soft spot for them, I’m very attentive and gentle) • Small and medium dogs, even if they're still learning manners • Large dogs (up to 70 lbs), I can walk one or two at a time. Playful energy is fine; dogs who might run off suddenly aren’t a fit • Extra-large dogs (above 70 lbs), on a case by case basis • Various walk styles: slow sniff-and-strolls, fast paced walks, or short jogging intervals • Dogs who need time to warm up or prefer slower interactions • Medication administration (insulin injections, pills, eye drops), always following owner instructions Aggressive dogs or pets that pose a safety risk aren’t something I can take on, but friendly, energetic, or barky dogs are welcome. Services I Offer • Dog Walking (30–60 minutes - slow, relaxed, or energetic) • Drop-In Visits (30 minutes: feeding, water, bathroom break, cuddles, play; I often enjoy spending time outside when the dog enjoys it) • Cat Care I’m communicative, detail-oriented, and respectful of your dog’s daily habits. You can expect photo updates and clear communication throughout the visit.
