Growing up, my family had multiple dogs, all of whom I considered to be my best friends. As an avid animal lover, I feel like something is missing in my life now that I no longer have any pets. I think dog sitting and walking would fill that void! I find so much happiness in watching the joy a dog experiences when I take them on a hike off leash or when I throw the ball for them for hours. I am eager to provide dog walking services. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks on the various hikes around my home. I find the stimulation they get on these walks to be important in keeping a happy pup, happy. I am comfortable walking dogs both on and off leash. I have experience walking dogs of all kinds, from those who pull from excitement to those who are too aggressive to be around other dogs. I have found that compassion and patience works best to tame these actions and provide a positive experience for the dog. I also provide dog and cat sitting services. I work 6 hour days and have the ability to walk and care for the animals during the entirety of the time that I am home.
