Energetic walker for energetic dog!
Pet care experience
Hey, I'm Caitlin! I'm an avid dog lover who has experience working with all different sizes and breeds of dogs! I grew up with large breeds (German Shepherds and Siberian Huskies) and love long walks. My husband and I currently have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever Henry that loves going on long walks with other dogs, though he might not join all walks. Henry is very well-behaved and given that my husband and I might also be walking him and your dog at the same time (though your dog will have my undivided attention), it's important that your dog is not reactive to other dogs (or things). I have a solid understanding of dog training (having trained 3 dogs at any given point), and can even work with your dog if they tend to pull (at your approval). I'm reliable and safety is always my top priority. There will be no point in time where your dog is ever off leash while I'm walking them. I bring water and approved treats with me and if your dog is high energy or has been cooped up for too long, lots of my 'walks' turn into 'runs'. Both my Husband and I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in our schedule. The reality is that this is just as much for us and our dog as it is for yours - we love dogs and our dog enjoys having a companion to walk with. It's the best of both worlds for everyone!
About Caitlin B.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Given we only provide dog walking, we do not have other pets in our home. During the walk, I always carry treats, water, and a collapsable water bowl so that your dog can stay hydrated and motivated.
Information Caitlin B. would like to know about your pet
If your dog is reactive to other dogs, we will likely not be the best fit. Even if my own dog doesn't join on the walk with my Husband, I would likely not be the best walker for dogs that react negatively to other dogs (or people).
A typical day
Your dog will get to walk with me and usually my husband and our dog! When approved, I love to incorporate training with other dogs to help them walk more calmly and confidently. However, I would only do so if approved by the owner. Otherwise, I'm completely okay (and practiced) with walking dogs that may not have the best leash manners.

I'm usually free for walks from 4-8 PM in my area! My husband and I take our dog on a walk every evening after work and would love for your dog to join us.
