Highlights
Pet care experience
Tremont Local Dog Walker
I live in Tremont, and I have extensive experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments through my volunteer work with the Cleveland APL. Having owned dogs throughout my life (including my sweet senior Puggle, Rocky) I know that every dog has a unique personality, history, and set of needs. I take the time to read each dog's cues, adapt to their comfort level, and give them the individualized attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I will follow any routines you and your pet has, and will allow your pet to lead any interaction. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy and stress free while you’re away, and to leave your home just as you left it!
Ratings and reviews
I can’t think of anyone I would trust more with the care of a dog than my wife. We’ve raised two dogs together over the past 13 years, and she has always been the primary caregiver. She is incredibly responsible, loving, and attentive to every detail of their routines, from feeding and walks to all the little things that make our dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What’s especially amazing is how naturally other dogs are drawn to her. She genuinely loves dogs, and they seem to know it the moment they meet her. She also volunteers as a dog walker with the Cleveland APL, and she comes home with pictures and stories about every dog she walks—often sharing all about that particular dog’s personality and quirks. She doesn’t just “take care of” dogs. She gets to know them, pays attention to what they need, and treats each one like an individual. Any dog in her care would be in incredibly loving, responsible, and attentive hands. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Schedule
I've recently reduced my working hours to part-time with flexible hours, and I don't have children, so I am generally available during any weekday, and can schedule weekend walks as needed. I'm happy to schedule a meet and greet before booking walks or drop-ins to get to know your pet better.

- Before your dog’s stay or walk, I’d love to know a little about their personality, routines, and preferences. In particular, please let me know how they typically behave around other dogs—whether they enjoy saying hello and socializing or if they’re more comfortable avoiding other dogs on walks. This helps me plan walks that are safe and enjoyable for them. I’d also love to know about any favorite walking routes, things they may be nervous around, or anything else that helps me make their time with me as comfortable and stress-free as possible. The more I know about your dog, the better I can care for them just the way you would!
