Availability
I am currently working full time on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and am free the rest of the week. As well as before and after work for walks, check-ins, and care. I own a reliable car with a safety hammock in the back seat if you would like your pet to travel for their walks. My job is flexible to allow dog walks mid-day if I have enough warning.

About Dean R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I follow instructions to the tee. I try and keep a consistent schedule for my clients and be flexible with their needs. If something changes last minute or you need a random check-in I am usually available.
Information Dean R. would like to know about your pet
Personally I like to know age, breed, and history. If your pet is anxious I like to go slow and get them adjusted to me. I always love hearing rescue stories! Any medications, local vet for emergencies, and an emergency contact. If your pet hates storms/rain/snow, etc.
A typical day
Every dog has a routine that works for them. High energy breeds usually I recommend a heafty walk and then some indoor toy stimulation. Senior dogs can get a relaxing and slow walk around the block and some belly rubs when they get back. Puppies I encourage training during walks to help them adjust to routine and maturing.
