Relocated Farmer in Noe Valley

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Henry; I grew up on a farm outside of Boston with goats, chickens, indoor/outdoor cats, and standard poodles, and still miss all of them terribly. SF has been my home for 3 years now, and I spend most of my free time cooking mediocre Thai food, and cycling both on and off trails. Most of my experience has been with reasonably energetic small and medium sized dogs, but for the last 6 months I helped to take care of my grandmother's 14 year old poodle, Darla, who was nearing the end of a long and happy life and required either a ramp or carrying up and down steps. I LOVE goofing around with energetic dogs who are happy to be outside, but am also mindful that the slower moving among us also deserve walks. Some other highlighted friends of mine: Xiaohua "Little Flower" - an 8 lb Bichon who used to hide under my bed and was mostly an apartment dog. Ivy, a 22 lb poodle-schnauzer mix who drags the first half of the walk and turns on "tow mode" the second half. Brady, a 45 lb white Shephard who is happiest sprinting after a slobbery, slobbery ball.

Information Henry O. would like to know about your pet

No preferences on breed; I do need to know how they socialize with other dogs (any breeds they don't like?), what their fitness level is, common scares or loves (e.g. Brady hates skateboards, Ivy loves cats), allergies or food sensitivities (only chicken treats?), and how they best like to play.

A typical day

I live in a hilly area of Noe Valley, so depending on fitness level and your preferences for exercise, there are flat (parallel to the hill,) medium steep, and stair level grades available for walking. My car has a dog-proofed back seat (and doggie seatbelt) for trips to ocean beach which is one of my favorites for a longer trip, and can use it to transport older dogs to any favorite areas that are harder to get to walking. I live within a 10' (steep) walk of the Upper Douglas dog play area, and depending on your dog's appetite and stamina, would happily play fetch all day or take them around the trails in the back.
