Committed to Your Dog!
Pet care experience
I'm a dog walker and caretaker due to my love of animals and being active outdoors. Growing up with a Wheaten Terrier, I learned how to care for a dog, as well as appreciate the joys of living with an animal and a life-long companion. Today I use the skills and responsible mindset I gained as a child and teenager to dog-sit for my three brothers' dogs. I've also worked as a dog walker during the summer months for people in my neighborhood. Additionally, as a teacher of children and adolescents I have learned to handle unpredictable situations with patience and strong problem-solving skills, qualities that I will apply to being a dog walker and caretaker. Also, my love of the outdoors and being active, including running, hiking and rock climbing definitely qualify me for the physical demands of taking care of your dog and giving him or her as much exercise as necessary. I understand that your dog is an important part of your life, and you can count on me to be professional and reliable. I know that I can fulfill the necessary responsibilities while also having fun with your pet. Thank you for considering me to take care of your dog!

I live near various dog parks and trails. I am also a runner, and if your dog likes to go on runs I'd be happy to take him or her along!
Information Anne H. would like to know about your pet
How is your dog with other dogs? How is your dog with people? Are there any extra services (feeding, giving a treat when enter the door, etc) that you require? How do you prefer to reward positive behavior? Is your dog allergic to anything? Does your dog have any triggers? What else should I keep an eye out for?
A typical day
I would love to explore nearby trails and parks, as well as local neighborhoods that are dog walking friendly. I'm also open to going on runs with your dog, throwing around a ball/favorite toy or frisbee. Anything active and I'm up for it!
