I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 10 years, including running my own dog walking and sitting service in Los Angeles and working with clients in Sweden. I’ve also volunteered for several years at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of behaviors, including anxious, reactive, and high-energy dogs. My approach is calm, structured, and attentive. I focus on creating a safe, predictable environment so each dog feels secure and understood. I tailor my care to the individual dog whether that means providing extra mental stimulation for active breeds or a slower, gentle pace for senior dogs. For walks, I typically offer 30–60 minute sessions depending on the dog’s energy level and needs. I prioritize safe routes, avoid overcrowded areas when necessary, and stay attentive to behavior, body language, and surroundings at all times. I’m experienced with basic training reinforcement, including leash manners, recall, sit/stay, and positive behavior correction using reward-based techniques. I aim to maintain consistency with any training you already have in place. Safety is always a top priority. I’m comfortable handling unexpected situations and stay calm under pressure. I keep a close eye on health and behavior, and in the case of an emergency, I’m prepared to contact you immediately and follow your preferred vet instructions. I currently work a structured schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to pet care. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on weekdays (especially afternoons and evenings), with more flexibility on weekends. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and detail-oriented. I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can replicate their normal environment as closely as possible. I provide regular updates, including photos and notes, so you always feel informed and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, positive, and reliable experience for both you and your pet.
