Pet care experience
I volunteered at an animal shelter for years until I eventually started working full time with them. Seeing the dogs and cats I took care of go home with a loving family were some of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I ended up with two pit-bull mixes of my own and a kitty because there are some animals you just have to take home with you. Since I moved to New York I miss interacting with them even though I know they’re happy with my family. I’m active and love to walk dogs, but also love the quiet company of sitting and reading a book with a furry one during Home time. I promise to treat you’re pet like it is one of my own. They’ll be in good hands, I promise.
Reviews
Blair Dishon is the Jane Goodall of domestic pets and basically anything else that walks on four legs and can contract fleas. (I've even seen her giving relationship advice to a squirrel.) The kindness she shows towards the canines in her care is unmatched, and she can empathize with them and anticipate their needs as if they were human. She can gauge when it's too hot for a long stroll, when they want food, water, or pets, which environments cause more stress for the animals than others, when treats are well-deserved, and she may even be able to read their minds, I don't know, I'm not a scientist. She is an animal-loving vegan and in addition to volunteering at her local shelter, she even pays for the adoption fees of the long-term un-adopted dogs during the holiday season to help them find new homes. Her ability to care for any pet has been proven through a lifetime of animal ownership. In short, there is nobody else I would trust more with my dogs than her.

Skills
Information Blair D. would like to know about your pet
Please tell me if your dog is a leash puller just so I can be prepared, or is prone to leaping at squirrels.
A typical day
I love taking walks down by the water, there are always such good smells down there for dogs. If there’s a dog park close enough I love playing with a tennis ball as long as it’s not too crowded and the dog is used to such an environment.
