I have many years of experience with dog walking, dog sitting, and hands-on animal care. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, where I received training in working with reactive dogs—building patience, awareness, and safe handling skills in a variety of situations. Animals, especially dogs, have been a lifelong passion of mine. I genuinely enjoy building trust with each dog and understanding their individual personalities and needs. Outside of pet care, I’m an avid hiker and trail runner, and I bring that same energy and love of the outdoors into every walk. I believe that regular, active time outside is essential for a dog’s mental and physical well-being. It’s not just exercise, but enrichment. Sniffing new environments, moving their bodies, and engaging their senses helps create calmer, happier, more balanced dogs. Whether it’s a relaxed neighborhood walk or a more active outing, I focus on making sure every dog feels safe, engaged, and genuinely enjoys their time out.
