Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced and Caring Dog Walker
I have over 10 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m skilled in handling dogs with special needs, and teaching untrained puppies to use designated areas for relief, and providing gentle care for senior dogs. My dog, Psyche, is a task-trained service dog, so I’m well-versed in managing disciplined, professional walks, ensuring safety and structure. I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and creating a calm, enjoyable environment for every dog in my care. ✨ Proudly serving pups and their families in River Oaks, Upper Kirby, Galleria/Uptown, Highland Village, Afton Oaks, Montrose, Rice Village/Midtown, the Medical Center, and Downtown. 🐾
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they have a comfortable and safe environment. I offer a secure balcony area where they can enjoy fresh air and a peaceful spot to relax. For more active time, I have access to a well-maintained fenced dog park on the property, providing plenty of space for private play time for dogs who prefer to roam freely. Inside, I prioritize creating a calm and cozy atmosphere, with structured playtime, feeding routines, and lots of attention to each pet's individual needs. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making sure the pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Naomi always goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are well cared for while we are away. She provides structured routines, lots of love, sends plenty of updates and videos! She is also very well rounded in her knowledge and handling of all types of dog temperaments and needs; our two pups have very different care requirements (ie one with medical needs and one is a young dog with a lot of energy) and she always does a fantastic job with them both! I would highly recommend her! (-:
Great with dog.
Naomi is wonderful!! We have two anxious dogs, one of them a rescue, and she put them at ease and took excellent care of them. When they met it was like they’d already known each other! Naomi is kind, professional, and helped me to enjoy the trip away rather than worrying about the dogs!!
Naomi J. cancelled a booking after the stay began.
Naomi has been working with our Corgi, Biscuit. So far biscuit has learned many commands and there’s more to come. She provides good feedback and helpful homework and responds quick and is flexible with meetings. It’s been a pleasure working with her. Now Biscuit has a little brother, Teddy, and we look forward working with Naomi to get Teddy up to speed 😁
Naomi was a FANTASTIC sitter!! She is thorough, thoughtful, and our pups LOVE her! She has previously helped with training our younger dog and this was our first time using her as an at home sitter. I want to speak about how well she took care of our older dog (Layla) in particular. Layla has a lot of medications/special considerations with her care. Naomi provided daily updates about how she was eating/taking her medications and gave Layla special enrichment time tailored towards her needs away from our younger dog (Nina). As for Nina, she is a rather anxious and high energy dog. Naomi took the time to work with Nina on commands and establish a routine for both pups to reduce anxiety and help them feel at ease while we were away on vacation. I can confidently say that both pups were better behaved and better listeners following Naomi’s stay! Lastly, Naomi left our place organized and clean. Naomi is an all around great choice for any dog parent as she is flexible, tailors her time thoughtfully towards each dogs needs, and understands the individualized care that goes into taking care of each pup she trains/looks after!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I walk my own service dog, Psyche, multiple times a day and ensure she stays on a structured routine. This includes regular walks, feeding, and mental stimulation. My experience with Psyche’s training and care has taught me the importance of consistency and attention to detail, which I apply to every dog I care for. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or giving extra attention to a dog’s specific needs, I make sure to provide dedicated time to ensure each pet is happy and well taken care of.
