What makes you different from other dog walkers?

I’m not your average dog walker—I’m here to give your pup more than just a stroll around the block. While others might get distracted, your dog has my full focus and care from start to finish. I make every walk a chance to reinforce good habits, build confidence, and keep tails wagging. Whether your dog is well-trained or still learning, I bring the patience, structure, and consistency that turn an ordinary walk into something special.

What is a structured walk?

We treat structured walks like a core camp activity—part hike, part class, and all fun! Unlike a casual stroll, a structured walk gives your pup a chance to use both their brain and their body. With positive reinforcement as our guide, we help pups/dogs learn important skills like leash pressure and engagement, all while exploring the world around them. The result? A calmer, more confident dog who feels accomplished after every trek. Think of it as a daily camp session that shapes good habits, builds focus, and makes tails wag long after the walk is over!

If my dog isn't trained, can you still walk them?

Absolutely! Every dog, regardless of training or temperament, is welcome. If leash pressure is new to them, we’ll start simple—even just in the backyard. No matter where your pup is on their journey, I’d love to meet them and help them grow at their own pace.

What if I'm not in El Sobrante or Orinda?

While El Sobrante and Orinda are my home base, I’m happy to travel further within the East Bay. Just let me know your location, and we can chat about a travel fee per mile to find a solution that works for you.

Do you offer services on weekends or holidays?

Yes! I know life doesn’t pause on weekends or holidays, and neither do pets. I’m happy to provide walks and sitting during those times. Just keep in mind that holiday bookings may fill up quickly, so it’s always best to reach out early to reserve your spot.

What’s a meet-and-greet session, and why do you recommend it?

A meet-and-greet is a short visit where I come by to meet you and your pup before their first solo walk or sitting. It’s a chance for you to put a face to the name, and for your dog to get comfortable with me in a low-pressure setting. Even if your pup isn’t reactive, it’s a great way to practice introductions and build trust right from the start.

What do I need to provide when booking you for house sitting?

All I’ll need is your pet’s feeding schedule, their usual daily routine, food and treats, and a cozy spot for me to sleep. That way, I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for your furry family while you’re away.
