I have been working as an independent dog walker in Philadelphia and Denver for over eight years. Before this I worked in an animal shelter, working with dogs. For this I was required to take animal behavior and basic dog training classes, and I have applied those skills to my dog business. I offer both dog walking and pet sitting services, including boarding dogs at my house for up to a week at a time. The summer is my busiest season for pet sitting, but my slowest season for dog walks, as many of my clients are home more in the summers. I do have a very friendly dog in my home. If need be, I can provide references from my current or past clients.
