Safety, trust & environment

I usually crate dogs at night. During the day I am aware of taking them on walks and basic care needed. I have trusted others with my pets when I have gone on vacation and I will give the same care I would expect for my own.

A typical day

I am a great dog walker and love even teaching dogs how to heal and walk on a leash. Of course, I love to play catch, too! I have a mile look at my apartments that I like to run. I also love trails and will likely start exploring the Maryland/DC trail system. I love taking dogs to the beach if possible!

The only thing I need to know is his pee habits. Some dogs tend to pee when nervous or when you go to pick them up. Are they picky eaters? How far do they like walking? Simple info.
