I'm an active, responsible and kind 37 year old woman who loves all animals! I enjoy going for walks and hikes on my own as well, but it's nice to have the added company of a dog without the responsibility of owning one full-time. I regularly walk my friends' and neighbours' dogs when they're out of town or working long hours, and have experience handling high energy levels - I enjoy the exercise. I'll make sure to only take them places you're comfortable with, only let them interact with other dogs/people if you say it's ok, and I'll send photos/updates to make you feel more at ease. I'll bring extra water and a container for them if I take them to a trail in the car, some of their favourite treats if they're allowed, and any of their favourite toys if they have any. If you let me know of any possible behaviour problems I'll know to watch out for those things and avoid possible triggers (ie. chasing cars, being territorial with other dogs, jumping up on people, etc.) I also love cats, if you need me to stop by to feed/play with your cat as well it's no trouble at all! Winter-specific: I'll make sure to keep an eye on your dog for shivering and discomfort, and if they seem uncomfortable in the cold, I'll contact you right away to get your input on whether we should return from the walk. Also, I'll make sure they're not eating snow near the street where there could be salt mixed in, and I'll wipe their paws with a hand towel to make sure they don't lick salt/chemicals off their paws.
