EXPERIENCE: I have experience walking, and pet-sitting a variety of pooches ranging from full-sized poodles, beefy Huskies, and Whippets to smaller dogs like Pugs, Bichons, and Chihuahuas. In total, I've been dog walking, and sitting off-and-on for about six years. I love the companionship of a furry friend during runs, walks, beach trips, hikes, and to play around with. If you're dog has a lot of energy, and enjoys running, playing, or long walks, I could be the perfect fit for your furry child. I'm a runner, and can run your dog for over an hour before I require a rest. With that said, I also have experience dog sitting elderly dogs, and can be gentle, and patient while still ensuring your dog has an eventful and entertaining visit with me. I can also help fulfill medication requirements as needed, and take your dog to veterinary appointments (if needed). Most importantly, I'll make sure your dog is safe. Smaller dogs can sometimes get trampled over while running with the big dogs on the beach, but not on my watch. I will ensure your dog has fun, while maintaining a safe environment for your pooch. AVAILABILITY: I have a flexible schedule, and should be able to take on last-minute appointments when needed. I'm also very accommodating, as I realize circumstances can easily change from day-to-day for many busy individuals. ACTIVITIES I CAN PROVIDE YOUR DOG INCLUDE: - Playing fetch - Socializing your dog with other animals (if desired) - Brushing/bathing your dog - Walking your dog at the beach, dog park, hiking trails, or on concrete (short, or long walks rain or shine) - Running your dog at the beach, dog park, hiking trails, or on concrete (short, or long runs rain or shine) ABOUT ME I adore the companionship of dogs (and cats). One of my favorite activities is to watch dogs play at the beach. I also love being outdoors, and being active. I am fond of people, but I especially enjoy making new furry friends.
