I provide runs and walks for various dogs several days a week and house-sit on occasion during the summer. I also drop in to play with, feed, or entertain dogs whose families are away for long periods of time during the day.

About Siiri H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Because each pet is unique, I ensure clear communication of expectations from the pet's family prior to any walking or sitting. I always carefully monitor pets for signs of stress, discomfort, or injury and am prepared to take action in the event of emergencies. I maintain regular communication with pet families when they're out of town (send pictures and updates of their pets) and organize my weekly walking schedule frequently to ensure convenience for both me and the client. As someone with pets and a love for animals, I hold myself to a high standard to make sure every animal is comfortable and thriving with any walk, run, or visit.
Information Siiri H. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know the pet's general reactivity to other animals, people, or specific triggers so I can make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. I'd also like to know if they're high-energy, touch avoidant, or food motivated so I can cater to their individual needs.
A typical day
I like to jog or walk with dogs who have high energy, and I like to let them sniff and explore all the interesting plants and green spaces around Davis's various greenbelts, parks, and arboretums. I can play fetch with ball-motivated dogs or tug-of-war with dogs who like to wrestle a bit, and I'll use any preferred cat toys with high-energy cats.

Lifelong pet and animal lover! 🐶🐱
Pet care experience
I've had multiple dogs all my life (all shelter rescues of all sizes and temperaments) and cared for them up into their senior years. From unique feeding routines to walks/runs in the early morning, to fetch, tug-of-war, midday potty breaks, and cuddles, I've done it all! I've also raised and fostered several litters of rescue kittens to be adopted, from bottlefeeding to litterbox training and handling practice. I am well learned in cleaning litterboxes, prepping midday snacks, and providing love and attention for kitties of all ages.
Cat care experience
Siiri also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Siiri was so great with our dog! She was patient and encouraging, and somehow handled all his idiosyncrasies with grace. She was also easy to communicate and schedule with. We will definitely hire her again.
Siiri is absolutely exceptional with my animals, and they truly adore her! I have a very busy work schedule and suffered a severe ankle injury last year that inhibited my ability to exercise my dog without help, and Siiri really swooped in and saved the day! She walks my large and occasionally reactive St. Bernard mix named Moose, and I’ve never once worried that she couldn’t handle the task. Moose is always so happy to see her and is nice and tired on days Siiri walks her. Siiri is also great with my kitties, and has babysat while I’ve been away on trips multiple times. She is my go-to person for all of my pet-related needs, as she follows care instructions really well and clearly has a way with every animal she encounters. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my babies are well cared for when with her. I highly recommend her as a dog walker and a pet sitter. You won’t be disappointed!
