Pet care experience

Adventure Walks & Belly Rubs

I bring a calm, confident approach to dogs of all ages and personalities. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, including those with physical or health challenges, and I’m comfortable supporting their unique needs with patience and care. My last dog was selective around other dogs, which taught me how to recognize and manage reactive or aggressive behaviors safely and calmly. I’ve also worked with puppies and have experience with early training, structure, and positive reinforcement. Whether you have a mellow senior or a high-energy pup, I adapt my care style to make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets—whether in your home or mine—I make it a priority to create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and energy level so I can tailor my care to what makes them feel their best. Your pet will get plenty of attention, belly rubs, and one-on-one engagement. I love incorporating activities like fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, or simply running around in the yard—whatever helps them burn energy, stay stimulated, and feel happy. For more mellow pets, I’m just as excited to provide gentle companionship, quiet time, and comfort. I’m very adaptable to training styles and routines. Whether your pet thrives with treat-based reinforcement or you prefer a no-treat approach, I’ll follow your preferences closely. I understand how important consistency is, so I’m diligent about respecting your house rules, training schedule, feeding routines, and boundaries to keep your pet’s day predictable and stress-free. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved while giving you peace of mind that their routine is being followed with care and attention to detail.

My dogs were disappointed when we got home because they wanted to spend more time with their bestie, Emily. It was so comforting knowing that they were being well cared for while we were gone! The consistent photos and updates were very appreciated!

Emily was great! My phone broke the first day we were gone so I couldn't use the app, but she made sure keep us updated.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time, but I regularly take lunch breaks—and I used to spend them walking my own dog before she passed. I’d love to bring that joy back by offering midday walks for pups who live close to my workplace. Outside of work, I’m available for morning and evening walks or drop-ins, making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and consistency they need. I also enjoy running with dogs, so if your pup has extra energy to burn, I’m happy to incorporate that into our routine.

Before caring for your pet, I like to gather a few important details so I can keep their routine smooth and stress-free. Knowing how your dog behaves around other dogs is especially helpful, as it allows me to plan walks that avoid potential conflicts and keep your pup feeling safe and comfortable. I also appreciate a rundown of any medical needs, sensitivities, or ongoing treatments so I can follow their care plan accurately. Even small details—like quirky habits, preferred potty routines, feeding specifics, or little things that make their day easier—help me provide the most consistent and comforting experience possible. The more I know about your pet’s unique personality and needs, the better I can ensure they feel secure, understood, and happy while you’re away.
