Professional Dog Walking Services

I have 15 years experience handling dogs of many different breeds, ages, temperaments, and sizes. I am a Licensed Family Dog Mediator (LFMD-T) and am currently sitting for the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants’ examination to become a Certified Shelter Dog Behavior Consultant. I graduated with Distinction from the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training. I have experience handling fearful, aggressive, and reactive canines using force/fear free and science based training techniques. I have worked in many areas of the petcare industry including retail, boarding, daycare, medical, grooming and training. I have over 20 certificates in my field. I am ASPCA/Humane Alliance veterinary assistant certified. I am an approved AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator, a Duke University Dognition Evaluator, and Certified Trick Dog Instructor. I service the islands of Whitemarsh, Wilmington, and Talahi. I also service Tybee Island for an additional travel fee.

Safety, trust & environment

For safety reasons, I require all clients to do a meet & greet prior to any services being booked. All dogs are required to wear either a harness or appropriately fitted collar during my time with them in addition to identification tags. All clients must show current vaccination records including proof of the rabies vaccine to comply with local & state regulations. Arrangements for house entry (keys/garage clickers) can be made on a case by case basis.

I would love to know all about your dog! What does he or she enjoy? What do the dislike? Are there situations where they become fearful, anxious or reactive? Is your dog just a big love bug? (Puppy cuddles and slobber kisses are my favorite!). Does your dog have any food allergies or medical conditions?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
