Self-employed and eager to walk
Pet care experience
My partner and I are the proud owners of two rehomed dogs, one being a medium-sized lab mix who was staying in a shelter, and the other a small-sized terrier mix who was removed from an abusive home. I grew up in Alabama, where I started caring for neighborhood dogs as soon as I turned 13. Starting at 15, I began to care for, take in, and rehome stray dogs and cats, with the cooperation of a local hospital and a neighbor with a large yard. When I hit 18, I moved to California, and immediately got a job at a pet supply/veterinary clinic, which I kept for 3 years. I ended my time at that place of work so that I could pursue self-employment as an artist, and now I'd like to spend some more time taking care of dogs again using the flexible schedule my career path allows me.
Reviews
This was the first time Eoghan walked my dogs. We just moved to Berkeley, so I found a new dog walker. One of my dogs doesn't like change, so she hid under the bed. Eoghan was patient and coaxed her out and took them on a walk. He spent some quality time with them, allowing them to socialize with others along the walk. It's nice to know someone is taking such great care of them when I can't come home after work.
Eoghan has been an amazing partner in helping rehabilitate my formerly abused rescue! Prior to his help, I had accepted that my little Finn could only trust me and would be particularly difficult learning new commands, but boy was I wrong! Eoghan taught Finn all the basics and has encouraged his food motivation, so Finn's receptiveness to training has increased exponentially! And Eoghan's past experience working in a specialty pet food store/veterinary clinic has been invaluable when it comes to ensuring my dogs are maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Skills
Information Eoghan I. would like to know about your pet
Ahead of time, I'd ideally like to be aware of any health issues, notable habits, and walk-time preferences, as well as any training the owner is trying to work on so that I can assist in that.
A typical day
I'm a high-endurance and flexible walker, preferring long, moderately-paced routes over high-speed jogs. Based on the owner's preferences, I can focus on exercise or simple exploration, and I'm more than willing to include favorite toys, treats, and games.
