Hello!

As an individual who exudes an unwavering calmness and composure, my love for animals is undeniably strong. I find myself immensely fascinated and intrigued by the various species that inhabit our planet. Along with this passion for animals comes a substantial amount of hands-on experience with many different types, ranging from the conventional ones like dogs and cats, to the more unusual exotic species.

Having had a plethora of exposures to various animals, I have acquired considerable proficiency in undertaking tasks that may seem daunting to others. For instance, administering medications to uncooperative pets, or accurately portioning food to meet their dietary requirements, are tasks I'm well versed in. My interactions encompass not only physical care but also understanding their emotions and building a trustful relationship.

In addition, my forte lies in my patience and inherent kindness. No matter how tricky or time-consuming a situation might be, I keep a steady head and do what's best for the animals. One can never find me resorting to violence or rudeness, irrespective of the circumstance, as I firmly believe in promoting a peaceful and respectful environment.

Beyond my skills and traits that pertain to animals, I am an overwhelmingly understanding and respectful person when it comes to human interaction. I firmly believe that everyone has their own unique set of rules, opinions, and boundaries which demand respect. Consequently, I always make sure to regally honor and adhere to the rules, expectations, and guidelines laid out by others, thereby ensuring a harmonious and respectful interaction on all occasions.

  • CO-OP at a vet clinic
  • Worked with animals since the age of 13
  • Good and gentle with handling different variety of animals
  • Has Experience in farm work aswell as giving medications
  • Experience in dealing with a variety of animals with different temperments.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

6. Ask about group walks

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

10. Clarify policies

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.
