Availability

I work fully remote from my home, and as I get to set most of my daily schedule, I have flexibility during the day to take care of pets as needed, particularly in the middle of the day and the late afternoon/evenings. As it stands now, I walk my dog 4 times a day on average, so your pet will be well exercised, and we’ll have fun regardless of the weather

A typical day

Outdoor activities are big with us. This can include walks (long or short), hikes, and runs if possible. Time in the backyard is also good, as are trips to dog parks. My dog and I frequent the Blue Hills often, as well as numerous local parks. We also go, where allowed, to the beach and lakesides when hot. As seen from photos, weather is not an issue. As for indoor pets, can certainly include indoor play if so wishes

Pet care experience

I currently own a 7yo mixed breed 90+lb rescue dog who is also my best pal. We go out on walks, runs and hikes often. Before him, I’ve had and taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was a boy, from a German Shepherd, a Cocker Spaniel, a Doberman, a Rottweiler and a Dalmatian. I’ll take care off your dog or cats (or any pet for that matter) like he/she was my own! Any task to ease your mind will be taken care off
