I used to work at a dog daycare, watching 50+ dogs/day and overseeing play time. I have also assisted in service dog training and have experience with horses, cats, rabbits, hamsters and other animal care. Big or small, your dog will be given only positive reinforcement and attention redirection training during their care. I am committed to finding great hikes for dogs that need not just a walk down the street but real exercise on varied terrain and experiences in nature. I will pay careful attention to your dog's water needs, paw condition, energy levels, and belly rub requests. I know the behavioral signs of discomfort, anxiety, aggression, playfulness, etc. I provide play time with my dog Rowan (loves to chase) Alaskan Husky for no charge depending on your dog's play manners. Rowan does not come with me to house sitting stays or house visits but may join our walks to socialize and play with your approval.
