I first learned how to work with dogs when I worked at a groomer's for a summer in my early teens, where I kept dogs big and small clean and content while they spent the day with us, including providing baths, walks, and playtime. I've lived with dogs as big as a Malamute and as small as a Pomeranian. I've looked after dogs with special medical needs and can develop a rapport with even the most excitable pooch and have a proven track record of getting "unwalkable" dogs to walk calmly on a leash. I am available to check in on and walk dogs from the early morning and throughout the workday. I usually provide communication and updates as needed, but am happy to accommodate a more thorough update schedule to make sure everyone is comfortable.
