Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, Patient Durham Dog Walker
I grew up with Freckles the Corgi ☺️ and have basically been picking up dog poop since elementary school. I’ve cared for everything from mellow seniors to anxious puppies—including one memorable night when a dog I was watching got sick at 3 a.m., and I made sure she was okay, cleaned up the carpet, and calmed her down before heading back to bed. I miss having a dog around (though these days I often look after my mom’s dog, Mabel), so you can count on your pup getting plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I’m patient, dependable, and used to every energy level—I run marathons, so even your most zoomie-prone puppy won’t wear me out 😂
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for dogs in someone’s home, I stay mindful of the space and boundaries you’ve set—doing my best to leave no trace and closely follow your instructions. I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs and have gotten good at reading what they need, so I’ll be attentive to their mood and make sure they get the care, comfort, and companionship they deserve.

Schedule
My schedule is more or less wide open these days, so I can usually accommodate last-minute requests, odd hours, and give your dog plenty of attention

- I don’t really require any specific information beyond temperament, how they like to be treated, and any quirks that help me understand their personalities better. I’ve dealt with reactive dogs a decent bit so not phased by abrupt shifts in behavior, but it helps to know their general behavior patterns around other dogs and people.
