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: I have always loved dogs and all animals. I currently have a friendly, playful pomeranian and a very easy going cat. Your pets would have full range of my 1100 sq ft apartment. I also have a back patio for lounging in the sun. I work from home and aim for 4 walks a day. If time and weather permits I like to go for a walk around humboldt park. I do live on the 2nd floor of my building and the stairs might be hard for large senior dogs. I will do whatever I can to make your pets happy and comfortable while they stay with me. Thanks for reading and I hope to work with you and your furbabies. I can offer 4 walks a day. I work from home so your pet will not be left unattended for long periods of time. I am awake around 8 am and go to bed around 11. I can wake up earlier to walk your dog but prefer not to walk late in the city. Your pet has full access to the apartment. I have pets myself so my place is pretty pet proof. I will folllw any directions you leave me.
