I like to know about your cat or dog's special needs: are they seniors, do they require any medication or special foods, are they barkers, how often do they poo, what is their regular exercise routine, have you had your dog since a puppy, what type of training did you do, are there any social issues I need to know about, and how do they interact with children or other dogs on walks?

I love having a dog by my side and when I do errands I also like to take them with me if they like the adventure and a car ride. I am a big believer that humans and animals need to be outside enjoying the fresh air. I have had dogs my whole life and have always walked them at least 2x per day for at least 30-45 minutes. When time permits, and especially on the weekends, we are in the car looking for a trail, dog park, beach or a stroll someplace new. Depending on where you are located I could be a Cavallo Point, or Rodeo Beach, Sausalito Boardwalk, Civic Center pond, McGinnis fields, and trails, along the Target water walkway, and even Pt. Isabel in Richmond or the Marina Green on the weekends. I am a big walker myself and walk a couple of miles a day as my normal practice. I always have balls, a chucker, and a water bowl in the car because it's all about playtime!
