Your dog will walk, walk, walk!
Pet care experience
I am in my 40s and in California shape from walking around Santa Monica with Sweet-Boy Toby, my 9-year old Chow-Shepherd mix. Because of all the walking we do, Toby looks like he is about 5-6 years old. Toby is sweet and gets along well with all the dogs we watch at my apartment. I generally take only one other dog--so it is two at any one time, including Toby. Toby and I go for a one-and-a-half hour walk every morning, down shady Santa Monica streets, north of Washington and south of Georgina. I bring water, but occasionally will let Toby drink out of select Montana water bowls--only a few meet my standards and Toby has never gotten sick. Very often, with stops at Starbucks, this walk turns into 2 to 3 hour outdoor time. In the early afternoon, Tony, my tenant and good friend, walks Toby for another hour. I then walk Toby in the evening between 9 and 10 for about 10-15 minutes so he can pee out before bed. These times can be adjusted to accommodate your dog, but I promise, the lack of a yard will be completely made up for with walking and just being outside. Plenty of exercise/plenty of stops and water when needed. I also adjust my day care and dog walking rates downward for long-duration requests - just ask!
Reviews
He always takes great care of kyenta. She gets a lot of exercise and he maintains a great routine which helps keep her calm and happy.
Quick trip out of town, he was able to accommodate with little notice. Very much appreciated him saving the week. Always such great care to make my pup happy.
Wonderful. He knows my pup very well and always follows up quickly.
He took great care of my pup. He made sure she was comfortable and ensured i had a lot of updates. He even let her up on the bed, and more importantly, because she has arthritis, helped her up and down. He made sure she ate well and took her meds also. Very pleased. Thank you James!
