I'll run with your dog!
Pet care experience
My main experience has been with medium to large dogs. I got my first pet, a Belgian Melanois, when I was eight years old. These dogs are known for their intensity and intelligence so a lot of exercise is required. Then I got a black lab in conjunction with my two melanois when I was about 11 and we took care of him as well. Finally, I - personally, got a German Shephard puppy when I was 17 and kept him for 10 years before he had to be put to sleep for hip dysplasia. It was one of the hardest things for me to do for him as he was my own / personal dog and we had grown through so much, but I will happily take care of your german shepherd ( or any small-medium dog ) and adhere to strict exercise requirements, depending on how young he/she is. I generally charge less for these services as I'm a newbie to this site, but I have to factor in my time and public transportation costs. I can keep up with most dogs.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I stay very attentive to the needs of the dog and follow whatever recommendations the owner has. I will be especially careful and respectful of the owner’s house and belongings and be sure to leave everything as I found it.
Information Emmanuel S. would like to know about your pet
I'd definitely like to know the dog's history and if it had or has any aggressive tendencies. I'm ultimately okay with a few of them as long as I know what specifically will distract the dog and what he/she does not like. Also, any other idiosyncrasies that probably all pet owners know and love about their pets would be nice to know. Finally, knowing a bit about the home environment and what to respect moreso than other places or things could be helpful...
A typical day
We would generally go "the most scenic route" as close to your place as possible ( meaning containing greenery and having access, hopefully, to a park ). If we don't have access to a park, there's plenty of urban scenery to traverse and it could actually be more interesting for the dog.
Services
Emmanuel can watch in your home
Availability
I’m usually free for a couple hours every day in the early morning and mid to late evening. I am making an effort to use up nearly all the time in my day so would gladly get some exercise in when I am walking your dog(s).
