I am a naturopathic medical student. Half of my day consists of studying and being at home. Of course, my schedule varies as semesters go on and classes change. Yet, I would love to spend my home time caring for and hanging out with canines. I enjoy walks, hikes, runs, snuggles, and/or anything they desire.

Safety, trust & environment

Being in the Arizona heat, I prefer to walk early or late and put booties on dogs to keep them safe from the heat. I follow any requirements or specific needs of the owners. If homes are fenced in, I ensure gates are locked before letting dogs outside and I enjoy being out with them. Enrichment activities, eating, and play is always supervised. Before I leave, I clean up and double-check the area to make sure the dogs are safe and comfy. All the same, as I have done with my family's dogs and the canines at the SPCA.

Information Ivyonna G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I need to account for. I've worked with dogs with food aggression, resource guarding, and dog-reactive behaviors. Don't be afraid to let me know.

A typical day

Enrichment is important in a dog's life. Lickmats, kongs, and scent games are great ways that I have previously entertained dogs and they love it. Indoor games are especially helpful during the Arizona summers.

Pet care experience

I cared for and walked dogs of all sizes at my hometown SPCA for a year. I've taken a canine body language training course. I trained two puppies; quickly potty trained, and taught them many tricks and good behaviors.

Ivyonna is very personable and interacts with the dogs really well. She seems very passionate about animals, and I would be very happy to recommend her for others that would need a dog walker.
