Hikes & Structured Walks

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.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or yours, safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, dog-friendly environment—no crates unless requested, and always supervised play. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding to walks to meds. I keep spaces clean, secure, and low-stress, and I always take time to build trust with your pet through gentle handling and positive interactions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands.

Petra is amazing with our little Luna! She takes her out potty, feeds her lunch and does some play during the day. Gives my wife and I peace of mind during the day while we are at work that our new baby is taken well care of. Would recommend her for your puppy needs!

Schedule

I start my mornings early and love getting walks in before it gets too hot. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I schedule walks, drop-ins, and check-ins around a calm, consistent home life. I’m outdoors every day, rain or shine, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, not just a task. Your pet’s needs will be met with patience, presence, and plenty of playtime.

I’d love to know anything that helps your pet feel safe, happy, and at ease—routines, quirks, triggers, or favorite things. Are there any health issues, medications, or reactivity I should be aware of? How do they do on leash or around other animals? The more I know ahead of time, the better I can care for them like you would.
