I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they need.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on safety. During visits I make sure pets are fed, comfortable, and relaxed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise so they feel happy and secure.

Information Vahid S. would like to know about your pet

Before our first visit, I like to learn a little about your dog so I can care for them the best way possible. Please let me know their routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, and anything that makes them happy or nervous. If your dog has any special needs, medications, or specific behaviors I should know about, feel free to share that with me. The more I understand about your dog, the more comfortable and safe they will feel with me.

A typical day

When I arrive, I greet your dog and say hello so I can get a sense of their mood and energy. Usually this starts with a few belly rubs, ear rubs, and a happy little wiggle to break the ice. Then I follow the owner’s instructions—this might mean feeding time first or heading out for a walk. If your dog has lots of energy, we might visit the dog park, play fetch, run around, or explore the neighborhood. After our activity, I make sure their paws and face are clean if needed and that they have fresh water. Before I leave, we spend a little quiet time relaxing with belly rubs, head scratches, and sometimes a gentle doggy massage so they can wind down and feel calm. Depending on how long you’d like me to stay, we might also enjoy some cuddle time before I say goodbye.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Vahid! I’m a retired professional volleyball player and fitness trainer who loves spending time with dogs. Staying active has always been a big part of my life, so dog walking feels like a natural fit. I share my life with two rescued Golden Retrievers, Teddy and Bella, and I previously had a Husky named Jessica. Through my own babies, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors. I’m currently studying English, but my “dog language” is very strong. I believe dogs communicate in their own way, and I enjoy taking the time to understand what makes each dog feel comfortable, happy, and safe. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply having company, I’ll treat them like family and provide the care, attention, and exercise they deserve.

Vahid has been kind and gentle in dealing with Boo’s separation anxiety. He gently encourages her and makes her feel safe and secure. We’re fortunate to have him care for our dog.

Vahid was fantastic with Boo during their first walk together. He was gentle with her and gave her time to feel comfortable with him. They walked together as if they had known each other for years. Highly recommended!

Vahid took exceptional care of Rue and Reo over five days. He provided plenty of photos and constant updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He was very attentive to their well-being and even let me know when the weather was too hot for them to safely walk, showing great judgment and care. Beyond the walks, Vahid spent time playing with the dogs and making sure they were happy and engaged. It was clear from the photos and updates that Rue and Reo genuinely loved spending time with him. His communication, reliability, and genuine affection for the dogs made the experience outstanding. I would highly recommend Vahid to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and attentive dog walker.

Vahid is a truly exceptional dog walker. He is soooo patient with our pups who get a little scared. He keeps us well-informed and is very prompt. Will use him again and again and again! Highly recommend.
