Walks, hikes, and cat visits shaped by how your pet actually behaves

Positive reinforcement, calm energy, and a free meet and greet before anything is booked.

Before you commit

A free meet and greet, so you can see how your animal responds to me first.

Rain or shine

Weather does not cancel a walk. Only genuinely unsafe conditions do.

High energy welcome

Long trails and running pace for dogs who need real mileage, not a stroll.

Services

Rates

Straightforward pricing with no packages to decode. Ask me if your animal needs something in between.

Dog park walk

A full hour out at a local dog park. Leash walking, fresh water, and a short update when we are done. Good for dogs comfortable around other dogs and people.

$35per hour

Extended walk or hike

Longer trail time for dogs with energy to burn, at hiking or running pace. The rate depends on trail distance and terrain, so tell me what you have in mind.

$45 to $50per hour

Cat sitting

In home visits for feeding, litter, and company, at whatever pace your cat sets. Additional needs are costed when you book.

$35per hour

Rates cover one animal. Pickup and dropoff available. Ask about two dogs from the same household.

Breed, energy level, and anything I should know before we meet.

02

We meet, free of charge

You watch how your dog or cat responds to me. No commitment either way.

Book a time

Pick a slot that works, and you get an update after every visit.

About

I live with a working breed, so I know what real exercise means

Zeeva is a Heeler and Australian Shepherd mix. She needs serious exercise twice a day regardless of the weather, and that routine taught me the difference between tiring a dog out and simply keeping it quiet for an hour.

I use positive reinforcement, read a dog's body language before a situation turns stressful, and build a calm environment rather than pushing a nervous or reactive animal through it. I am equally comfortable with a slow cat visit or a long trail run with a dog that needs the mileage.

The details worth stating up front

Weather

I go out rain or shine. The only exception is when conditions are genuinely unsafe, such as extreme heat, ice, or a storm.

Meet and greet

Free, before any booking, so we can both see whether it is a good fit and your animal is comfortable with my energy.

Pickup and dropoff

Available if you need your dog collected and brought home.

Cancellations

Six hours notice for dog walks and 24 hours for prearranged cat sitting when you can manage it. Outside that, text me and we will work it out.
