I have to shy/anxious dogs. The older one is well trained but takes time to get acclimated to new walkers/sitters. He dislikes being handled so a confident and calm walker is a must. Our younger dog is under 2 and also shows anxiety, is less trained but learning. Consistency is key for her. Because both of our dogs were rescued/adopted from situations where they did not receive good early puppy socialization we need to work with handlers who are accustomed to rescue dogs and anxious breeds.
