Pet care experience

Patient, attentive, 18 years exp

Dogs have been central to my life for 18 years. I owned two Shiba Inus, a breed known for being independent and strong-willed, which gave me a deep understanding of dogs that think for themselves. I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, and dogs with complex medical needs, including administering medications and coordinating vet visits. Walks are always on the dog’s terms. I never rush or pull, and I give them time to sniff, explore, and mark. For anxious or reactive dogs, I bring patience and calm. I take direction from owners seriously, and your dog will be treated with the same love and attention I gave my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every dog as if they were my own. Walks are always on-leash, and I stay fully present – no distractions. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, whether that’s a specific route, feeding schedule, or medication. I’ve handled anxious and reactive dogs and know how to stay calm and keep them safe.

Please share anything relevant about your dog’s temperament, medical needs, triggers, or routine. I’m experienced with anxious and reactive dogs, so nothing is too much to mention – the more I know upfront, the better I can care for them. I ask that dogs have no history of aggression toward people.
