About My Business

You can have peace of mind knowing your dog is having a long walk where he can sniff all the scents around him with his powerful nose, which is a calming for him, (or a short walk if your pet can’t do long ones), getting companionship, fresh air, and a reward of healthy treats, while you are at work, in the hands of a certified professional dog walker. You’ll come home to your dog who is content and tired, and behaving better because his needs have been met during the day. When dogs are alone in the house all day, they are bored, lonely, sometimes insecure, and their energy becomes cooped up, so they can acquire destructive behaviors, such as barking, chewing, separation anxiety, inappropriate urination. Let me help by providing fun and safe walks for your doggie.

Regular walks provide much-needed exercise, stimulation, socialization and basic obedience training for your dog(s). I am a graduate of the Dogbiz Dog Walking Academy. I understand how dogs communicate with each other, can read dogs’ body language and learn how to prevent fights to keep them safe. Safety is my top priority. Becoming a certified professional dog walker and pet-sitter is not required in the industry, so you can trust your pet is in good hands with me. Why not give your dog the best life possible; our pets don’t live as long as we do. There are too many stories about relatives or hobby pet-sitters losing a dog, or worse.

You want to keep your family member safe - in the city there are all kinds of things to be aware of: reckless drivers, unleashed dogs, glass in the street, chicken bones, poop not picked up, children walking up to the dog without parent’s permission. Or even passing a dog in the street who may not like other dogs. Positive reinforcement methods help to manage dogs on walks, dogs who react to other dogs, pull, scavenge, or other behaviors. Not by force or with choke and prong collars, which are known to damage their sensitive tracheas! (See my blog for more on this subject.)

Cats need companionship when their guardians are away, just as much as dogs. After feeding and cleaning their litter box, I interact with the cats, making sure they are healthy and happy, and playing with them if they want to, brushing them or just talking to them if that's all they want. Birds, fish, turtles and other small animals need care also, when their guardians are not home. Updates are provided daily, with photos and videos if desired.

See my website for client testimonials, as well as photos of happy dogs and cats I have visited over the years. I have experience with shy, senior, special needs pets, and puppies and kittens. I can give topical/oral medication, subQ fluids, trim nails, clean ears, de-mat, bathe, deep clean litter box, transport pet to vet appointment, express bladder. I keep your home as clean or cleaner than when you left.
