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 !

Ruben is absolutely wonderful. He's on time, respectful, and most importantly, Oskar loves him! We are very thankful for his assistance.

Rubens is a wonderful dog walker, or so Devlin shows me! She's happy and content when I get home in the afternoon. I also receive such lovely photos. Thanks, Rubens, for taking such good care of my girl!

Safety, trust & environment

I usually follow the owners' recommendations regarding food, water, electricity, bathroom, etc. It is very important that the owner makes all the information about his pet clear before the visit/walk.

Information Rubens C. would like to know about your pet

Activity planning is necessary before walks. I design and perform outdoor enrichment activities for dogs considering weather conditions, traffic and daily life challenges Kittens have environment enrichment activities within their own environment. I drive dogs safely home, ensuring homes are secure during and after the visit, with keys, locks and alarm systems. I track the progress of stays with reports on trips to the bathroom, water and meals, using photos of the games through the Rover app. All activities will be developed according to the age and health status of the pet.

A typical day

First I take care of your pets physiological needs. Ball games, walks in the park and lots of cuddling are preferred for young and old pets. Senior dogs will have healthy walks and long conversations about our life experiences. Always taking care to collect all the debris.
