Our standard is 2 walks daily but we started at 4 walks when I first got her at 6 months old. She’s well taken care of and so will yours be in my care. Be it 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour, if you choose me as your walker it’ll be a great time! I work FT hybrid. I’m home Mondays & Fridays. Weekends and evenings are what work best. I’m free all day on weekends and can do midday up to an hour between 1-3PM on Mondays & Fridays. I have one dog Pretty who is quite friendly. She is a bit reactive to smaller dogs. Does do better with medium to larger dogs. Pretty and I, live in a one bedroom but an area/neighborhood that is walkable which is done daily so there’s no shortage of space to get steps in!
