Every pet is different, and I never stop learning about how to provide the best care possible. I appreciate owners communicating any important details ahead of time, including medical needs, routines, triggers, medications, or anything out of the ordinary that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. I have experience administering oral medications and am more than willing to learn injectable medications hands-on with owner guidance if needed. I also like to understand each owner’s preferred approach to correcting unwanted behaviors so I can provide consistent care and reinforcement while respecting your boundaries and training style.

Keeping pets mentally and physically enriched is very important to me, and I always tailor activities to each dog’s age, energy level, and physical needs. For active dogs, I love going on long sniff-filled walks, playing fetch or frisbee, hiking, or even swimming with owner approval. For senior or lower-energy pets, I focus more on gentle engagement and comfort. I also incorporate mental stimulation through enrichment activities like frozen treats, puzzle-style games with towels and treats, hide-and-seek, and practicing commands or training based on the owner’s preferences. A happy, engaged, and appropriately tired dog is always my goal!
