Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. On walks, I ensure dogs are always secure on a sturdy leash, stay in safe environments, and receive the attention they need. I adjust my pace and route based on each dog’s comfort and energy level.

Information Mario B. would like to know about your pet

I want every walk to be safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for your dog. Before we start, I like to know their temperament, energy level, medical needs, and how they react to other dogs or new environments. Understanding their routines, favorite routes, and any special commands helps me provide the best care. My goal is to ensure your pup feels happy, secure, and well cared for every step of the way.

A typical day

Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more active hike, I tailor each outing to the dog’s energy level and needs. My focus is on providing a fun, safe, and engaging experience, ensuring plenty of sniffing, movement, and mental stimulation along the way. Sebastopol provides a variety of of local walking routes.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Growing up in Sebastopol on large properties, I learned how to handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. As a lifelong dog lover, I understand the importance of exercise, companionship, and trust. I’m experienced in administering medications and caring for senior dogs, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Whether your pup needs a relaxed stroll or an active walk, I provide safe, reliable, and personalized care.
