I grew up in northern New Jersey with a Bichon Frise and a Greyhound (along with a few reptiles and amphibians). I am accustomed to walking dogs with plenty of energy, strength, and quirks. It is important to me that I understand a dog's individual temperament and level of training and that my presence be a positive contribution to the dog's life and comfort. I am happy to take a dog on a long walk, give it my full attention while sitting, contribute to training, or visit a dog park (at an owner's request). I will respond to messages as quickly as I am able and will always be available for immediate communication during and near the time of any appointment. I am a freelance video editor and my schedule is subject to change on a weekly basis. I also have 4 years of experience caring for birds, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, and both saltwater and freshwater aquatic life. I look forward to getting to know you and your canine!
