About: I've always wanted a dog but only ever had cats. So, I'd walk the neighborhood dogs, dog sit, go to dog parks, you name it! I've even done some minor dog training (no certification, just online and book research) to better help the precious puppers! I now have a work from home job so I have a great deal of time to spend with pets during the day! So far I've had no complaints about dog howls during zoom meetings 😊 I will only be able to walk your dogs or dog sit at your home. I live in a house with max pet capacity, so they cannot stay at my place. As for dog walking, I will bring a water bowl so they're not dehydrated, treats or toys if you'd like, and for potty breaks I can happily take them for a short walk if they need a crate break! If they get into muddy areas I can clean their paws, but I need to use your hose as I can only carry so many pet wipes with me on walks. If they do not have their shots or flea treatments, I need you to be honest with me. I will be walking other dogs and need to be concerned for them and my cats safety. If they are a puppy without shots I cannot take them to a dog park. I will need to avoid wooded areas if they don't have tick treatments. I also will not allow ANY dogs into my vehicle to prevent possible flea spreading. Meaning any dog parks must be within walking distance of your home, preferably a mile. I want to do what's best for you, your fur baby, and other fur babies.
