Pet care experience
I previously walked dogs in the Clarksville TN area. I love doing it so much, that when I moved to Maine; I decided to continue the dog walking services I had previously provided. Notice: If messaged about my services, I do expect you to engage with the messaging process, be ready to set up a meet & greet prior to services, and book within the timeframe allotted. ***Anyone who becomes un-responsive for 12hr, without any prior notice, will be removed and will have to restart the booking process over again.***

Wonderful as always!
Best of luck in Maine! You’ll be missed!!
I would give 100 stars if I could! We absolutely love Garrard and he takes care of our fur baby as if he was one of his own.
As per always our pets are happy and we are happy! Garrard takes amazing care of Harper and Gunner!

During any meet & greet, I will feel out the dog's emotional energy by coming in from a safe, but secure emotional space. During this 20 minutes time, I usually ask what is expected of me beyond the typical walking experience and picking up any waste. I ask that you either have a keyless entry or lockbox for the key, as I will not have them in my full possession. I ask that you supply any waste bags for the dog walks as well.
Information Garrard W. would like to know about your pet
? Please have leash, harness and/or collar readily available to help facilitate getting walk ready as efficiently as possible. ? Please keep any and all treats as well as waste bags stocked or readily available for accessibility. ? If we have wetter weather, please leave a towel and I would be happy to pat dry your dog without any additional service charges. ? If you need me to make changes to the weekly walk schedule, please notify 24hr in advance via the messaging system.
A typical day
I meet the dog at the door and get them immediately ready for the walk. I give positive reinforcement and encouragement to extra excited dogs to help regulate their nervous system. My walks start from the time the dog and I leave the house; and they end when we come back to the door. Once we get back inside, we will preform any tricks with treat based rewards to help reinforce the learning and retention. During the walk timeframe, I will send pic to visually let you know I have possession of the dog. If their are any corrections or adjustments we had to make during the walk, I will note them in the comments. Also, PLEASE let you neighbors know you will have a dog walker service for your dog, as I will not put up with any harassment from neighbors.
