Availability
I offer a flexible schedule from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with my busiest window typically being between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. To ensure I have enough time to plan the perfect enrichment activities, please book your walks or visits at least 24 hours in advance. Safety & Handling: A safe walk is a happy walk! For everyone’s well-being, I take extra care when assessing large, powerful, or reactive dogs that tend to pull on the leash. Open communication about your dog’s strength and triggers is essential so we can enjoy a secure, controlled, and stress-free experience together.

A safe walk is a happy walk! For everyone’s well-being, I take extra care when assessing large, powerful, or reactive dogs. Open communication about your dog’s strength and triggers is essential so we can enjoy a secure, controlled, and stress-free experience together. When caring for your pet, I strictly follow all of the owner's recommendations regarding food, water, home guidelines, and routines. Safety is my top priority: I provide secure transport, maintain strict home security (keys, locks, and alarms), and keep you fully updated through the Rover app with potty breaks, meals, and action shots.
Information Rubens C. would like to know about your pet
To design the perfect day, it is essential that owners share all relevant details about their pet's personality, health, and routines before our first visit. Every activity is fully customized to your pet’s age, energy level, and unique needs so they can have the best experience possible!
A typical day
Our days are packed with tailored stimulation! We explore trails filled with natural scents, engaging games, and runs to burn energy. For senior dogs, I keep a gentle pace with light strolls and plenty of companionship. For indoor pets like kittens, I bring the fun and brain games right to their home environment. I am strictly focused on well-being and adaptation. This means ensuring proper shade and hydration in the summer, and protective care during the winter cold. I monitor local conditions daily and am fully prepared to adapt our activities during adverse weather—such as extreme heat, heavy rain, snow, or poor air quality alerts—safeguarding your pet's health by shifting to indoor enrichment or modified potty breaks when necessary. Every visit concludes with scheduled feeding, administering medication if needed, lots of cuddles, and a detailed report on their health and potty updates.

Enrichment Dog Walking Specialist
Pet care experience
Pets are not our whole life, but they make up our whole life. I believe that we can learn a lot from the affection and loyalty of pets. Having good times with your partner depends on the good quality of life your pet has. When your pet walks and plays daily, its quality of life increases. Thirty minutes of walking or playing will prevent illness, socialize your pet, control weight, increase muscle mass and other benefits. I meet these needs by walking your dog, entertaining them in a healthy and professional manner. I'm a professional walker who seeks the well-being and enrichment of your pet's walk. Being a Dogwalker is a fantastic exchange of experiences with these remarkable beings. Let's Rock !
