I am available during the weekends and some evenings. I've had dogs all my life. I currently have an 11 year old Akita who can't walk as much as she used too. She is 110lbs so I can handle big, hard headed dogs. I can run with your dog and I can go for more than just a 1/2 hour. I currently walk my neighbor's German Shepherd. I love to be outside and to be active and I would love to enjoy that time while giving dogs exercise. I have seen the benefits of keeping dogs active with my own Akita. I am a government employee so I think you will find I am very trustworthy and I am married to a cop as well.
