Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in a gated apartment complex. I have a 6 year old female Australian Shepherd who I take on daily walks and occasional runs/hikes. My apartment complex has a lot of walking trails as well as a fenced dog park. I also have a crate and can keep the dogs in separate rooms if needed. I love working on tricks and creating fun puzzles for my dog and her friends!

Kate is the best!! I booked her last minute for 2x/day walks for 4 days. She accommodated meeting us at the hotel to pick up a key and to briefly meet our golden retriever next day. She was communicative, flexible, punctual, and genuinely so sweet to our boy. I would trust her with him anytime.

Schedule

I’m currently working from home part time so I’m available the majority of the week and weekend! I spend most of my time at home or out walking my dog. I typically take dogs out for potty breaks every 3 hours and can feed them whenever needed throughout the day. Usually I am only gone from the apartment for a maximum of 3 hours.

Let me know if your dog has any special preferences or if there’s anything I need to know ahead of time. I prefer to know the typical commands your pet responds too as well as their typical bathroom routine. If there’s anything I can do to make your baby more comfortable, please let me know!
