I have always been a cat owner but walked my neighbor's dog for 6 years (unpaid) because the owner never walked her. No exaggeration, never! He died suddenly after a fall and his daughter asked me to adopt her. I walked Darcy much more than I used to! We went many places, so much better than her previous life, spent mainly in the basement. I made her food in the crockpot so I knew exactly what the ingredients were. I miss having a pet so I'm happy to spend some quality time with felines or canines! My last cat lived almost 16 years when she got feline kidney disease and got very thin and weak. I like to walk around Seward Park. I wouldn't take your dog to the dog park unless requested since it is an unpredictable place. I would like to do a Meet 'n Greet before walking your dog, if possible. If your dog is very reactive to other dogs I will only walk him/her if they are under 20 lbs. I had some dog training through Bark Busters and also Puppy Perfecters. If you request that I be away from your dog for no more than two hours a day than I would charge an hourly rate of $15/hour. I am near the Genessee leash free park if your dog is okay going there (they have a separate small dog area). Update: I am starting to apply to adopt a dog so if it happens, your dog would have to be okay with being with another dog.
