Dog Walking Lower West Side

About: I have taken care of friends and clients dogs. The longest I watched a dog was 2 weeks. She is an Australian Shepherd and Boxer mix (high energy and very smart). Others breads I have taken care of are Doberman, Labradoodle, French Bulldog, Pit Bull, and Bulldog. Long walks and playtime are no biggie! Just a note, my household is just me and my boyfriend. I wake up at 6:30-7am, go on a walk, breakfast, play time, snack, nap (if needed, walk or play, relax, and dinner. I adjust to the needs of the dog, especially with physical activity. I am comfortable with high energy and low energy dogs. They will get a lot of love and encouragement the whole time. I live in a condo in a 12 story building. It is a dog friendly building with fenced in a play area. It is small but an easier way for any dog that needs to be let out. There are a couple of dog parks to walk to but can avoid and just walk if that is more comfortable for them.

“Mariam has been a great dog walker for our senior dog Hannah- she is attentive, observant, caring and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond by giving our cats some attention as well and picks up on small details with our dog who is on medication which brings us such peace of mind.”

About: Hello! My name is Logan, and I am a nursing student, extrovert, and cat parent. While I may have 2 cats, I am a dog lover! I love greeting neighborhood dogs who have started to recognize me and get all wiggly and happy. I love going on walks, house sitting, and I have experience with medication administration for all types of pets. I am a full time student, but I only have to be on campus 2x/week. The rest of the time I’ll be studying or decompressing by walking dogs. As someone who appreciates honesty and communication, your comfortability and security is very important to me. I will be in your home and/or with your dog to make sure they are taken care of.
