Pet care experience

Calm, Confident Pet Handler

I’ve worked with animals since childhood and currently handle my own reactive dog who has significant behavioral challenges. Through extensive training, positive reinforcement, and patience, I’ve learned to read body language, manage triggers, and create calm environments for anxious or reactive pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats, and other animals. Neighbors, friends, and family trust me with their pets because I treat each animal as an individual with unique needs. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior pet requiring medication, or a reactive dog needing structured walks, I provide attentive, reliable care that gives owners peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

For dog walks, I’m experienced with leash reactivity and keep dogs safely secured with secure collars/harnesses. I follow each owner’s specific instructions for feeding, medication, and routine. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, keep doors/gates secured, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. I have a fenced yard if boarding is needed. My own dog has taught me to be vigilant about safety - I never take risks with gates, doors, or off-leash situations unless you’ve explicitly approved it.

Schedule

I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekday evenings (typically after 5-6pm) and anytime on weekends. This makes me ideal for after-work walks, evening feeding visits, or full weekend care when you’re traveling. I’m also flexible for last-minute weekend bookings. I keep a consistent schedule so your pet can rely on regular timing, and I always communicate clearly about availability and any changes.

Please share any behavioral quirks, triggers, or special needs your pet has - there’s no judgment here! I’m experienced with reactive dogs, so if your pup is nervous around other dogs, strangers, or certain situations, I know how to manage that safely. I also need to know about any medical needs, dietary restrictions, escape artist tendencies, or specific commands you use. The more details you share upfront, the better I can care for your pet exactly the way they need.
