Availability
I’m available to walk dogs on weekends because I have flexible free time and enjoy spending time outdoors. During the week, I’m available after 5:00 PM and can provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’m committed to making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need.

Safety, trust & environment
While Walking: Ensuring the dog is safe on a leash at all times. Watching for hazards like traffic, other animals, or unsafe terrain. Giving plenty of exercise suited to the dog’s age, breed, and energy level. Offering water breaks during longer walks. Engaging with the dog—playing, talking, and giving attention. Monitoring behavior and mood to prevent stress or discomfort. Cleaning up after the dog responsibly. Adjusting pace or route based on the dog’s needs. While Watching (At Home or Elsewhere): Feeding the dog on schedule with the proper food and portions. Making sure fresh water is always available. Giving love, attention, and mental stimulation through toys or interaction. Keeping the dog safe and comfortable in their environment. Following any specific care instructions from the owner. Monitoring health or unusual behavior and alerting the owner if needed. Administering medication if required. Maintaining a clean living area (picking up messes, washing dishes, etc.).
Information Courtney O. would like to know about your pet
“Before caring for someone’s pet, it’s important to know their routine, diet, and any medical needs. Understanding their temperament, favorite activities, and how they react to new people or animals helps me keep them safe and happy. I also make note of any home rules, exercise preferences, and emergency contacts, so every visit is smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable for the pet.”
A typical day
“While watching a dog, I focus on keeping them happy, healthy, and engaged. I provide playtime with toys, fetch, and gentle games, as well as mental stimulation through puzzle toys or simple training exercises. I offer affection, cuddles, and calm companionship, while also keeping up with grooming, feeding, and fresh water. When safe, I take dogs on walks to explore new sights and scents, and help them socialize in a positive way. Every moment is about making them feel loved, secure, and enriched.”
