I am happy to work with any dogs, regardless of need, although I do require complete honesty up front as well as the ability to reach you vie text/call during my scheduled visit/walk. I need to know what their triggers are, if they pull on walks, if they have strong recall in case of emergency, and what language you use during training. If your dog pulls on walks, there needs to be the appropriate anti-pull harness available. I do not use aversive training/walking tools (namely prong collars or e-collars). If these are the only tools available and you expect me to use them, I am not the walker/sitter for you. If your dog has any reactivity struggles or special needs, I would like to meet with you and your dog first to create a safety plan and get as much information as possible. I'd be happy to spend time with you and your pet first in order to establish trust and hopefully desensitize them to me entering your home without you. I retain the right to refuse walking/sitting for a pet who bites or tries to bite me or if your dog shows signs of aggression upon entering your home (snarling, snapping, hackles up, stiff tail, etc). I will request that you return immediately if I'm bitten and it breaks the skin.

Every dog is different so this will vary depending on the pet and the information I'm given from you, as you know your pet best. I really enjoy taking dogs on walks and giving them plenty of time to sniff, but I am also happy to provide them with cognitive play indoors and in your backyard such as fetch, sniff games, and kongs if made available. Most importantly though, I will give your animals love and affection while you're away so they they feel safe, secure, and relaxed.
