Pet care experience
Enrichment Dog Walking Specialist
Pets are not our whole life, but they make up our whole life. I believe we can learn so much from their affection and loyalty. Daily walks and play prevent illness, socialize your pet, control weight, and build muscle—improving their overall quality of life. As a professional walker, I seek the well-being and enrichment of your pet's routine. Being a Dogwalker is a fantastic exchange of experiences with these remarkable beings. Let's Rock ! MY TRAIL & SAFETY STANDARDS: Active Supervision: Continuous visual focus during walks to manage trail hazards and discourage scavenging. Hydration & Hygiene: Clean water provided throughout active walks. Paws, coat, and ears wiped down as needed (mud/rain). Stream access requires prior consent and safe water conditions. Behavioral & Health Monitoring: Real-time tracking via Rover card (GPS, potty, photos). Energy or digestive shifts are reported immediately; reactions developing hours post-walk are logged with owners to fine-tune routines. Equipment & Custody Window: Owners are responsible for providing secure, properly fitting harnesses/collars. Direct care and responsibility begin at pickup and conclude upon safe return to your home.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
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 GPS tracking, potty breaks, and photos. Walk & Custody Guidelines: Pre-Walk Health Updates: Owners are asked to inform me prior to the walk if their pet showed any signs of illness, digestive distress, or unusual behavior in the preceding 24 hours. Trail & Street Safety: Dogs are kept under continuous visual supervision to minimize scavenging or accidental ingestion of natural/urban debris. Any unexpected incident or behavioral shift is reported immediately. Custody Window: My hands-on care and responsibility begin at pickup and conclude upon returning your dog safely to your home.

Schedule
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.
