Patient Walker & Local Dog Owner
Hi, I’m Cameron. I’m a lifelong dog owner with a very flexible schedule this summer, and I’m offering dog walking and drop-in visits. I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, from large breeds like Rottweilers and Akitas to small ones like Chihuahuas and Mini Aussies. My own dog is a 12-year-old rescue Golden Retriever mix that I’ve had for a decade. Through caring for her, I've gotten very comfortable with senior dog care, administering oral medication, and adjusting to slower-paced routines. I know every dog is different. Some need a good long walk to burn off energy, while others just want a quiet companion and a slow walk around the block. I’m patient and calm, which tends to work really well with dogs that are a bit timid or slow to warm up to new people, especially men.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and reliability are my top priorities. As a longtime rescue owner and university professional, I treat every pet with the same vigilance and care I give my own. In Your Home & On Walks: I am a respectful guest and a focused handler. I provide my own reliable transportation and come prepared with spare leashes and waste bags. During walks, I am hyper-aware of surroundings to ensure a safe, stress-free experience. In My Home: My environment is fully pet-proofed and secure, featuring a fenced-in yard with no environmental risks. Because of my flexible summer schedule, your dog will enjoy constant supervision and a calm, climate-controlled space to relax. Trust & Communication: I strictly follow all care instructions—from meal timings to medication—and provide regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind.

Schedule
As a teacher on summer break, my schedule is very open and flexible. I have full availability throughout the day, evenings, and weekends between 11am and 10pm, allowing me to provide consistent care and companionship when your dog needs it most. I live in Union City and have my own reliable transportation, so I can easily travel to your home anywhere in the area. Because I am not tied to a typical 9-to-5 office routine, I can offer your pet more than just a quick check-in—I am available for extended walks, midday play sessions, or simply staying present to keep a senior dog or anxious pup company (~30 minutes, if needed). Whether you need a regular weekday routine or last-minute weekend help, I can easily integrate your pet’s needs into my day.

- To give your pup the best care, please let me know about their unique personality and routine! Here are a few details that are helpful to share: Social Comfort: How do they feel about new people? Do they prefer a slow introduction or a specific toy/treat to break the ice? Health & Seniors: Are there mobility concerns or medical needs? I am experienced with administering oral medications and senior care. Walk Style: How are they on a leash? Do they have "triggers" I should avoid, like bikes, squirrels, or other dogs? Dietary Rules: Any allergies or strict meal schedules I should follow? Energy Level: Are we going for a high-energy zoomie session or a slow-paced sniff walk? Knowing these things helps me provide the safe, attentive, and relaxed experience your dog deserves.
