Running, Walking, Dog Parks

Pet care experience

I am available in the middle of the day for walking services and specialize in taking dogs for runs. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. Most of my life has been spent caring for dogs ranging in size from a Beagle to a Great Dane and in age from six weeks to eighteen years old. I previously cared for my roommate's Husky while she was at work, but I now have my own dog and regularly provide care for my shepard-mix dog-niece while my sister is at work. Whenever I meet a new dog, I work to establish trust and respect, so that we both feel comfortable with one another. When I make new friends, I tend to end up spending more time with their dogs than I spend with them. This is not my full time job, I just love being with dogs!

When Ellen was a high school student in Charlotte she walked our 2 dogs when we needed her. We had a plot hound and a beagle that were both high energy dogs. The beagle would bark incessantly for at least a block into the walk. She was so patient with her and, according to our neighbors would talk to her to try to calm her. They always came back calmer dogs. After she had been walking them a while she would come when we were not home and let herself in, return them, and leave everything just as she had found it, making sure the dogs had fresh water before leaving. If she were still in Charlotte we would use her again.

Information Ellen C. would like to know about your pet

If a dog has specific triggers or behavioral problems, please be upfront about them for the safety of your dog. The triggers and behavioral problems I can accommodate, I will happily do so. I weigh about 125 lbs., so if you have a heavier dog that is a bad puller or likes to chase various moving objects or organisms, please let me know.

A typical day

I am happy to do walks of any distance, but, for dogs that have more energy, I offer at least two mile runs and walks. If there is a dog park or a fenced in area to play, I am happy to engage in catch, chase, or tug-of-war.
