I worked as a professional dog walker and sitter in San Francisco in 2019. As a huge dog lover, this was a dream come true! I worked for a local company, Citizen Hound, and fell in love with every aspect of the job (and every pup!). I was responsible for two packs of 6-8 dogs who I would pick up/drop off and take for one hour walks every day. Typically these walks would be off leash, at the beach or a park, so I went through extensive training to receive my walking permit. Having grown up with dogs of my own, I understand that dogs are owner's babies, making sure to treat each dog as if they were my own! I sat many of the dogs in my packs as well as other dogs in the company that year. I have been volunteering at animal shelters for the past 7 years and therefore have experience walking a variety of dogs. I have sat blind and sick dogs, so I am comfortable with medications as well as other special needs (eye drops, IBS, separation anxiety, etc). When sitting, I love to take dogs on hikes or even to the dog park, with owners permission, to make sure they are getting exercise. I always update owners frequently and send lot of pictures! I miss all of the dogs from my packs and am looking to create new connections with both dogs and owners here in Sacramento. I would prefer to have regular clients, however I am also open to one time walks/sits. Although I am just getting started on Rover in the area, I highly encourage you to look up reviews for Citizen Hound to see the standard of care I expect of myself (:
