Animals have been at the center of my life for decades. Before pet care and dog walking, I spent 36 years as a horse trainer. I also ran a home-based dog and cat rescue in Mexico, helping animals heal, build trust, and find them loving homes. I also volunteered at the Surrey SPCA. I’m experienced with dogs who have anxiety, reactivity, aggression, or medical needs. Sensitive animals tend to settle with me quickly. I read body language well and adjust my approach to what each dog needs. I offer on-leash and off-leash walks based on your dog’s training, recall, and your preferences. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s energy level and comfort—whether that’s a calm stroll or a fun adventure. Off-leash time is only done with your approval, in safe, designated areas I know well. I’m familiar with local trails and parks, including Campbell Valley and Derby Reach, plus several great dog-friendly parks nearby, depending upon the area. Or, if you prefer, around your neighborhood. My goal is simple: your dog gets a safe, fun walk and real connection. You get peace of mind knowing they’re with someone reliable who genuinely cares. I can also accommodate one small dog for boarding or daycare in my home. I work from home, so they get plenty of attention throughout the day—I previously had a Chihuahua, so I’m very familiar with small dogs and their needs. I’m also comfortable with dogs of all sizes for care in your home. I also have experience with cats of all temperaments, horses, bunnies, birds, goats, and sheep.
