Caring Walker/Sitter for your Dog

I'm an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter that has a passion for dogs and rescuing them. I have been involved in dog rescue and fostering in the Syracuse area for a number of years. I've cared for a number of my own dogs and cats from young to seniors. I've also been a foster parent to a number of dogs when rescues needed someone. I can handle the most challenging of dogs down to little babies and everything in between. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention when I'm around! I give all dogs the same love and affection I would give my own dog and see the importance of cuddle and buddy time along with good exercise. I show confidence when I'm with a dog so that they know there is trust with me from the beginning.

Absolutely awesome. Last minute request due to an emergency, he stepped up and bailed us out. Great with the dogs! Thank you so much for the last minute communication and assistance.

Safety, trust & environment

I've got a very pet friendly home. I live in a single story, ranch house that has a fully fenced back yard. I do not have children at home that we would need to worry about and I'm very respectful if needed to go into a client's home. Safety and security are always at the forefront.

A typical day

Walks around town, to parks, wherever the adventure leads us! I live in a great walking area that will be easy to walk pets if they are staying with me. I would walk your pet 3 times a day if they are staying with me. My fenced in back yard is also a great place to play with your dog and let them explore. Rides are also special to dogs usually, so periodic rides in the car would be great for exploring!

Age, temperament, energy level, special needs they may have. In addition, it's also important to understand feeding habits, whether they are grazers, need a slow feeder, or have food security issues. Resource guarding with toys or anything else is also a consideration. What typical routines are like for your pets so that I can try to match as closely as possible.
