About Jianlin W.
Safety, trust & environment
For dog walking, I focus on safety, consistency, and calm handling. Before each walk, I confirm the dog’s routine, leash or harness setup, energy level, triggers, and any special instructions. I also apply what I learned from Fear Free shelter and boarding/daycare training by paying close attention to body language, fear-anxiety-stress signals, arousal level, thresholds, and environmental triggers. I check that equipment is secure, choose safe routes, avoid unnecessary dog to dog interactions, and adjust the pace to the dog’s comfort level. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and low-stress walk while giving owners peace of mind.
Information Jianlin W. would like to know about your pet
Before each walk, I like to understand the dog’s routine, leash or harness setup, energy level, triggers, and comfort around other dogs, people, traffic, or loud noises. I also ask about medical needs, allergies, mobility concerns, emergency contacts, and any owner specific instructions.
A typical day
A typical walk starts with a quick check of the dog’s leash, collar, or harness to make sure everything is secure. I then take them on a safe, comfortable route suited to their age, energy level, and temperament. Depending on the dog, I include relaxed sniffing time, steady walking, light engagement, and short breaks when needed. For higher energy dogs, I can keep the walk more active; for shy, senior, or easily overstimulated dogs, I keep the pace calmer and more predictable. After the walk, I provide a clear update so the owner knows how their dog did, including energy level, behaviour, bathroom breaks, and anything I noticed.

Pets
Pet First Aid Certified
Pet care experience
I am Pet First Aid certified and certified through Fear Free’s Shelter Program and Boarding & Daycare Program, which trained me to recognize fear, anxiety, stress signals, arousal levels, body language, and environmental triggers. I grew up in a dog friendly family and spent 12 years caring for my family dog, including her current senior stage care. My Life Sciences and Biomedical Science background also makes me detail-oriented and observant with changes in behaviour, comfort, and well-being. During walks, I focus on secure handling, safe routes, calm interactions, and adapting the walk to each dog’s temperament, age, and energy level. My goal is to provide reliable, low-stress dog walking that owners can trust.
Reviews
I was so happy when he told me he applied for this because I know he’s a perfect fit. He raised his dog, Jiajia, for a long time back home, and he still shows me photos of her all the time. I can tell how much he loves and misses her. He has actually raised all kinds of pets—from birds to fish—and grew up surrounded by dogs of all different sizes and breeds through his relatives. He really understands how to care for different types of creatures and their unique temperaments. Please reach out to him, he will bring you a great experience!
