I have owned and cared for family pets nearly my whole life - dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, and many others! Growing up in a pet friendly neighborhood, lots of my neighbors and family friends entrusted me to care for their furry family members while they were away, including pet walks, feedings, play, baths, administering medication, and housesitting. I especially enjoy time spent outdoors dog walking, running, hiking, interactive play, and even sports like dog agility. I've raised and trained several of my own dogs from puppies to rescues and seniors, and from small to large sizes. I look forward to meeting your pup or other pet, and walking/caring for them with compassion, respect, and pawsitivity, like I would a cherished family member. My schedule is currently super flexible and open, especially for dog walking or running. I am most available Mon-Fri during daylight hours, with some availability for weekday early morning walks, after work/evening neighborhood walks, and some weekends. I have a fenced front and back yard and a friendly, playful dog of my own to help keep your pup company. I love to run and hike and am experienced running my own energetic dog, so I'm happy to dog jog with your pup if you'd like. With a great grassy park and a dog park within a mile nearby my home, access to and responsible experience with dog crates if needed, and living with my partner who also loves animals, your pet will be well loved, cared for, and attended to.
