I love dogs, I love walks!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm mostly working from home in my house in the north end. Our family has had a beloved wiener dog, who recently passed away at 17. My work from home buddy is gone, so I am looking to add dogs back into my life. Besides also growing up with dogs (golden retrievers) my partner and I fostered dogs for a dachshund rescue for several years. Each one had a unique personality and training requirements, and we looked after a wide range of ages as well. To be a volunteer for the dog rescue we had to go through an application, references and police check. I love getting out in the middle of my work day for a walk, and would like to be able to include a dog with me and make their day a little more fun too. I live near Needham park, so with guidance on what type of exercise to provide, there are some nice options! I am also happy to have some dog company while I work at my computer. It is a quiet house during the day, with an enclosed backyard as well. During evenings and weekends, it's a little less quiet with my son and husband around :) I am open to your dog's needs and any specific instructions you want me to follow.

Lynn, who I have known for over 20 years, is incredibly responsible. She has always had dogs in her life, and I have had the pleasure of watching her grow into a thoughtful dog foster person on top of that. She was the only person I could ever trust to walk my own unique and skittish small dog, and is just overall an incredibly caring person. I cannot say enough good things about her, and highly recommend her for this service.

Information Lynn P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special needs or training that you are currently working on. If they come to my house for the day, my 5 year old son gets home around 4, so I would appreciate notice if your dog is not ok with children.

A typical day

Depending on the type of walk you would like for your dog, I can walk them leashed along sidewalks, or through large Needham park. If they are ok off leash (with your ok) I am happy to also play fetch or let them play with other dogs there.

Availability

I currently work from home most days a week (which is also a bit flexible), and try to fit a walk in every day. I'd be happy to either bring a dog or dogs along with me on walks, or else also have the company of a dog at my house while I work.
