Oral medication administration
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot accept boarding requests for dogs exceeding 60lbs. My building has restrictions on dog sizes. If your dog needs a lot of indoor exercise, I won’t be able to provide that service due to the size of my apartment, but I have no issues with getting the exercise it needs outdoors. For a weekday, the dog will get 2 regular walks in the morning before breakfast and in the evening before bedtime. During the day, the dog will get a bathroom break/short walk before dinner. For a weekend day, the dog will get an extended walk before breakfast or dinner and, if permitted, visit to the dog park. If weather is bad, the dog will get more playtime when we’re home to ensure it gets to expend its energy and/oris properly stimulated. If the dog is into tricks, I may be able to build in some time to work on them.

Information Jo W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dog’s feeding and walking patterns, behaviors/aggressiveness towards other dogs and people, especially children, any commands that needs reinforcement, exercise needs, and behaviors towards guests in the apartment.

A typical day

I love to take your dogs on walks and meeting new friends at dog runs (if your dog normally goes), and if you have an active dog, I may incorporate some jogging time as I am a runner myself, and we may even go on a mini hike. At home, we would just lounge while watching TV or reading together.

Pet care experience

My friends may joke that I am a dog whisperer, but I really just love playing with dogs and teaching them tricks. I’m human; you’re dog; if you still got energy left at the end of a walk, get ready for a few blocks of sprint training 🤪. When I’m with you, you’re my responsibility. I will provide proper routine for the fur babies and give them LOTS of belly rubs! Consistency is key! I believe in training through repetition and love—reward over punishment with proper discipline and boundaries. I do require a meet and greet before any job, just to ensure that I feel comfortable with your furbaby and your furbaby is comfortable with me. Let me know what tricks you want me to work on, and I will give it my best love.

This is the 3rd time she’s watching my dog and she’s been amazing every time! Cookie usually needs time to acclimate to a new environment but she acclimated quickly to Jo!
