Experienced dog walker!
Pet care experience
I've spent my entire life surrounded by dogs of all sizes, fostering a deep understanding of their behavior and needs. Drawing from this experience, I incorporate canine behavioral management techniques into all my interactions with dogs. Whether I'm caring for a dog over an extended period or simply greeting my own furry friend at home, I find joy in integrating training exercises into our time together. Not only does this approach make our interactions enjoyable and enriching, but it also strengthens the bond between myself and the dog.

believe in providing enriching experiences for the pets I watch to ensure they're not only well cared for but also mentally stimulated and happy. Depending on the preferences of the pet and their energy level, I offer a variety of fun activities tailored to their needs. This may include engaging in interactive play sessions with their favorite toys, going for scenic walks in nearby parks or trails, practicing basic obedience training to keep their minds sharp, and even incorporating puzzle toys or games to challenge their problem-solving skills.
