I started walking dogs in 2017 and it was apparent early on how much nature and exercise is an integral part of a dog’s wellbeing. I’ve seen personalities blossom when the dogs are brought to walk on trails compared to the pavement on a busy street. It’s become a core part of my business that I regularly bring the dogs to the various parks and neighborhoods to be able to explore, be inquisitive and be themselves! Socialization and positive reinforcement is my specialty! I love to bring my dogs to the bank, car wash, garden centers, farmers market, and the beach in the off-season! I grew up in Lexington so I’m very familiar with all the amazing dog-friendly parks there. Watching the dogs enjoy a novel, enriching experience is just as fulfilling for me as it for them! I currently have a 2-year old Pekingese male, named Spud. He is neutered. He is sweet and well-behaved. He gets along with all dogs and can give space to senior/ special-needs dogs. For all new clients that are booking for boarding, I do require 2 walks prior to boarding so that your dog and I can get acquainted. Up to 10 walks and 2 days of daycare may be recommended if your dog has high anxiety or high separation anxiety. This is so we can build a relationship and ease the transition to staying in a new place with new people. This will really help with future stays, too. My boyfriend and I live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment in dog-friendly community in Bedford, close by to Wegmans. ——————————————— I have experience with reactive cats.
