Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, Reliable Dog Care • Patient
have 6 months to a year of hands-on experience as a kennel attendant and dog handler, working with dogs of many sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I’ve handled strong and high-drive breeds such as Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, and Dobermans, and I’m confident staying calm and in control in different situations. I do well with reinforcing basic commands like sit, stay, and leash manners, and I’m especially good with puppies, helping them learn structure, routine, and positive behaviors early on. I’m patient, observant, and always focused on the dog’s comfort and safety. I’m still learning and growing in my skills, but I take pride in building trust, reading body language, and providing consistent, respectful care for every dog.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I maintain routines and reinforce basic training every other day to keep dogs mentally engaged and well-behaved.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m fully open on Thursdays and Sundays, which allows me to dedicate focused time to walks, drop-ins, and extended care. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, I typically finish work around 2–3 PM, giving me good afternoon and evening availability. On Fridays and Saturdays, I’m usually available after around 4 PM. Because of this schedule, I’m able to be consistent, punctual, and flexible, whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or longer visits. I plan my time carefully to make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve.

- It’s important for me to know about your dog ahead of time, including their age, breed, energy level, and temperament. I need to understand any health issues, allergies, or medications, as well as favorite toys, treats, and games. Knowing their behavior around other dogs or people, potty habits, feeding schedule, and training commands ensures I can provide a safe, fun, and personalized day. This information helps me plan walks, playtime, and mental stimulation activities that suit their personality and keep them happy, active, and comfortable while in my care.
