Trust: I am a 30 year old professional writer/artist, and I started this business after my beloved senior dog passed away from cancer. Not quite ready to get another dog but desperately missing our daily walks, I found dog sitting/walking to be the perfect solution. I work from home, which is ideal for boarding. Your dog will be by my side along trails, beaches, and getting cozy on the couch. House sitting: Services do not end in providing your dog with adventure, mental stimulation and unconditional love; I also enjoy cleaning, watering plants, gardening, maintenance, etc. Whatever you need to have done while you're gone, I can provide. Walks: My time is as flexible as my attitude. If your dog enjoys a leisurely walk on a flex-leash, we will go sniffing every corner of town. If they prefer to have a bit of exercise, i'm happy to turn that 30 minute walk into a 10-15 minute jog with a 5-10 minute cool down. If you prefer that Fido practices leash training and heeling, we will spend half of our walk practicing our manners. I can administer medication and offer grooming or bathing if we get muddy on a trail. Experience: I have trained at Ahimsa Dog in Ballard, specializing in dog-to-dog aggression, and have been training dogs since I was a kid. The majority of my experience has come from my own rescue dog, Gizmo, whom I had for ten years. Thanks to Gizmo, I have an extensive amount of experience dealing with dog-to-dog aggression, senior needs, special needs and above all; patience. Training: Friends call me Cesar Milan - but unlike the Dog Whisperer, my secret to great dog training comes from only using positive reinforcement and rewards. It truly works! I love getting to spend time with these unconditionally loving and inspiring creatures.
