Dog Lover with Training Experience

I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities. I got my first dog, Kira, in 2012 and worked closely with professional trainers and dog schools to properly train her. In 2019, I welcomed Jack into my life and trained him as well, earning obedience qualifications along the way. Training and clear communication are very important to me, and I always adapt my approach to each dog’s needs. I currently have a 6 months old puppy, Tessa, who is sweet, calm, and loves to play. She’s great with other dogs and can be a wonderful playmate for social pups. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to providing a safe, loving, and structured environment for every dog in my care.

She did a great job watching our pets while we were gone. Everything was in good shape when we got back and the animals were healthy and happy. It was a huge relief knowing they were in good hands. We’d definitely use her again.

I’m fully available and can dedicate all my time and attention to pet care. Your pets will never be left alone for long periods and will receive constant supervision, playtime, walks, and affection. I’m flexible with schedules and happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe and structured environment where pets are never left unattended for long periods. I respect each pet’s habits, routines, and boundaries, and I carefully manage interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. Trust, safety, and kindness are the foundation of my pet care. I have experience managing interactions between dogs of different ages and energy levels, and I always introduce pets slowly and safely. I use positive reinforcement, never punishment, and I make sure every pet feels secure, respected, and loved in my care.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is balanced and engaging. I combine relaxing walks, playtime at home or outdoors, and mental stimulation, while always respecting your dog’s energy level and daily routine. Plenty of rest and affection included.

It’s important for me to know about any special needs, allergies, fears, or behavioral traits. I also appreciate details about feeding routines, commands, and how your dog interacts with other pets.
