💛 For Dogs Who Don’t Do Daycare

Pet care experience

Is your dog too much for daycare — but too much to just leave with anyone? Hi, I'm Whinde, and I specialize in calm, structured care for dogs who don't thrive in busy daycare environments. Many of the dogs I work with are dogs who: • get overwhelmed in group settings • are anxious, reactive, or sensitive • were asked to leave daycare • simply do better with calm, one-on-one attention I provide structured walks, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting throughout: San Jose • Santa Clara • Willow Glen • Campbell My approach is calm, patient, and relationship-based. I focus on helping dogs feel safe, regulated, and understood — not overstimulated. ✅ Large and powerful breeds ✅ Sensitive or anxious dogs ✅ Working and high-drive dogs ✅ Puppies through senior dogs ✅ Comfortable handling strong leash pullers Professionally trained in canine behavior, I bring real structure and calm leadership to every visit — not just a leash and good intentions. If your dog struggles in daycare, on walks, or with overstimulation — this is exactly what I work with. I offer: • Decompression walks • Drop-in visits • In-home sitting Start with one visit. You'll see the difference. Let's schedule a meet & greet. 🐾

Whinde has such a calming energy. She knew exactly how to handle my dog’s reactive nature at the door. Very Punctual, to the minute!
