Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, knowledgeable dog walker
I’ve had dogs my entire life, from small to medium breeds, and currently care for my own dog, who I’ve raised and trained from a young puppy. Through that experience, I’ve developed strong, hands-on skills in daily care, structure, and behavior. I’m very comfortable with: •Puppies (potty training routines, structure, basic commands) •High-energy dogs who need both physical and mental stimulation •Dogs with sensitivities or allergies that require extra attention •Reinforcing basic training like leash manners, sit, wait, and recall I’m also experienced using a variety of leash setups and tools (standard leash, harnesses, gentle leads, long lines, etc.), so I can confidently handle different walking styles and needs. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs, I engage with them. Whether that’s structured walks, play, or reinforcing good habits, I make sure your dog is safe, stimulated, and cared for.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication. I’m very aware of things like heat, overstimulation, and surroundings on walks, especially in areas like Florida where conditions can change quickly.
