Like so many on here, I've been a pet lover my whole life! Starting out as a kid volunteering at the local animal shelter, pets have always been a major, lovable part of my life. I have since been a foster home for several pets until they have found their forever home in addition to owning my own sweetheart dog, Ava( she is a rescue dog that is just turning 15 this year!). What is special about hiring me is that your dog has the potential to get A LOT of exercise. I am an avid runner and have had dogs as my running partners my whole life. You will frequently see me in the evenings or in the early,early mornings in the Safety Harbor area or along Bayshore with a dog running by my side, and they love it!!! Your dog will not get just a 30 min walk to use the bathroom and get out of the house but instead, they will get a full workout by joining me on my runs. Each run is 30-60min depending on your dog's health. I am always careful to make sure they have plenty of water and we are not overdoing it or hurting their paws. If your dog hasn't don't this before I have also trained plenty to be able to switch from full on sprint mode to being able to run at a nice pace by my side. I have yet to meet a dog that hasn't LOVED running with me! I would love to meet you and your pet and help with dog walks/runs and/or providing a great place for them to stay when you have to leave town! (yes, if they stay with me for the weekend, daily runs are included if you'd like!)
