I would love to know beforehand if your pet tends to be nervous around new people, aggressive towards anything specific, or any general behavioral information you can provide. I like knowing what kind of dog I'm going to be handling so that I can respect their space as much as I'd like them to respect mine.

My goals when walking dogs, or even by myself are to stick to neighborhood streets (preferably with sidewalks) or at nearby parks/green spaces. I don't enjoy the noise of the main roads here in NoVA, and I know that the dogs don't either, so I'll do my best to keep them away from the main drags. Plenty of play time or cuddles will be in an abundance if that's what your doggie wants. They'll be taken care of and they'll completely forget that their parents aren't home.
