I’m an experienced dog owner, trail runner, and daily dog walker who genuinely loves spending time outdoors with dogs. For over 20 years I’ve cared for my own dogs and for friends, family, and clients’ pets — including puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs. I’m comfortable administering medication, following specific feeding routines, and making sure anxious or reactive dogs feel safe and understood. My days already revolve around dogs and movement. I walk or hike several miles every morning, so energetic dogs who need exercise are a great fit. That said, I’m just as happy giving extra patience and gentle care to older dogs who prefer slower walks and quiet companionship. What you can expect when your dog is with me: • Calm, reliable care from someone used to handling multiple dogs • Structured walks with attention to leash manners and safety • Plenty of exercise, sniffing time, and mental stimulation • Updates so you know your dog is safe and happy I treat every dog like an individual. Some want adventure, some want routine, some want a couch and a belly rub. My job is to figure out what makes them feel secure and give them exactly that. If you’re looking for someone dependable who truly enjoys being with dogs, I’d love to meet you and your pup.
