I'll Keep Your Dog Active

Pet care experience

A service that I wished was available when I was looking for dog walkers was more of a dog runner. My dog is super athletic and benefits more from higher pace exercise. Now that I'm in school for Engineering at UVA, I have a little weekday and a lot of weekend time to exercise with your dog. This could be through a light jog, a fast walk, intermittent run/walk intervals, or more depending on your dog's level of fitness. I'll monitor your dog's condition to make sure it doesn't over exert itself as well. Most of my dog experience comes from training my rescue over the past few years. I took a couple months of dog training classes to get started, and learned a ton through watching videos and reading books. My other experience comes from watching family and friends' pets. I'm 26 and live in Downtown Charlottesville. I'm an Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts and go to UVA full-time. Additional services: 20 minute dog training. My dog is Canine Good Citizen Certified and an Intermediate Trick Dog, both through the AKC. Typically, training sessions are best in 20 minute increments after exercise. If you'd like something specific practiced, please let me know.

Dale clearly loves Dogs. I'm happy I've been able to get him to walk my two dogs. I'm sure anyone who uses him will be happy.

Dale is an active, loving dog caregiver. His dog Layna is healthy and happy and I am sure would share the same caretaking to other dogs. Hunter M

Information Dale M. would like to know about your pet

If you could provide the basics like whether they are house-trained, if they're aggressive, and special considerations, etc. Best practices and things s/he likes to do are good to know as well. Any breed is good for me!

A typical day

Depending where you are, I prefer taking dogs on trail walks/runs. Street-side is okay too, I'll just be conscientious to make sure his/her pads are okay on the concrete if we're moving at a faster pace. If you have an area to throw a ball, stick, or frisbee, that's totally cool too. I'm really up for whatever activity your dog enjoys the most, anything goes. For example, my dog's favorite activity is chasing my drone around the park.
