Walks at Their Pace 🐾

I’m an experienced dog walker and pet sitter, new to the area and currently accepting new clients with flexible, wide-open availability. I have two dogs of my own—Franny (a senior queen 👑) and Carlos—so I really understand that every pet has their own pace and personality. Whether your dog wants a slow, sniff-everything stroll or a more active walk, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes (yes, even the strong pullers 💪) and focus on safe, positive walks with good manners and plenty of time to explore. I’ll treat your pets like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of care.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and take the time to understand your pet’s personality and needs. Whether they’re high-energy or more laid-back, I adjust my approach to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m very respectful of your home and keep things clean, secure, and as you left them. I’m mindful with doors, gates, and leashes, and always prioritize safety. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: to keep your pet relaxed, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule with availability on weekdays, weekends, and for overnight stays. I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s walks, feedings, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

Before getting started, I like to learn your pet’s routine, energy level, and personality, as well as any medical needs or medications. It’s also helpful to know about leash behavior, triggers (like other dogs or people), and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, including large and bully breeds, and adjust my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I’m happy to do a quick meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit and that your pet feels at ease. My goal is to provide care that feels familiar, safe, and tailored to your pet from day one.
