Professional & Reliable Dog Walking

Pet care experience

Welcome to my profile! I’m a dedicated pet parent, who does dog walking as a side job. My dog background: My experience with dogs includes raising three pedigree dogs in my adult life—two pugs and one French bulldog. Additionally, growing up in Delaware provided me with the opportunity to care for numerous breeds and types and offer dog walking services to my neighbors. Personally, I walk my own dogs for 45 to 90 minutes daily and have a special homemade diet for them, consisting of 60% chicken and eggs, and 40% carbs and vegetables, a recipe praised by my vet and one I’m happy to share. Beyond personal pet care, I’m a professional in freelance advertising, my remote work setup gives me the opportunities to explore daytime income streams, particularly during downtimes.

Josh gave Dex an excellent walk and was very accommodating to his needs. I would definitely ask him to walk Dexter again!

At this time, I am focused on folks in specific areas who are interested in daily walks. I will be experimenting with time frames and specifics to find the most repeatable schedule possible. • Beacon: neighborhoods. Early Morning walks • Poughkeepsie: Southside neighborhood- late AM walks. • Kingston: Historic Districts - early afternoon walks. While these are my primary areas and times, I'm open to discussing and accommodating requests outside these specifics when possible.
