Safety, trust & environment

If caring for a dog in their home, it would always just be me and the dog. I follow all house rules, and am very adaptable to both the needs of the dogs, and dog owners. In terms of walks, I spend so much time on my daily walks with my dog, that I am hyperaware of warning signs from other dogs and am able to avoid any potetial confrontations.

Dog Walking • May 18, 2026

John is an awesome dog walker. Our dog can’t contain his excitement when he opens the door. Greatly appreciate that he always brings the dog back completely exercised!

John is basically a natural dog sitter. I don't know what it is about him, but our dog loves him and seems incredibly excited to be in his presence no matter how long it has been between stays. He seems calm and strong, like he could handle anything that comes up. He does lots of long walks and is especially safety-conscious, making sure my dog is always on a leash. Highly recommend.
