Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a great area for walks. I’m also happy to come to you for convenience. I am very flexible to what works best for you and your dog(s). I have experience administering medication to dogs and have worked with older and/or disabled dogs (blind, wheels, etc) too.
Information Mary J. would like to know about your pet
I'm flexible and open-minded, so I recognize life events can change last minutes in terms of plans, availability, pet care expectations and more. The farther I know in advance when you would like me to walk your dog, expectations for the walk/petcare, if medication administration is needed and more is always better, but I recognize this may not be possible. If needs for a dogwalker/care or change of medication administration changed last minute, I understand and hope you just let me know as soon as you know.
A typical day
A typical day will depend on the needs of the dog. I love the outdoors and going on hikes, so if it's a high-energy dog this is an activity I like to do with them. I also enjoy going to dog parks and letting them expel their zoomies. For older or disabled dogs, I like to go on slower walks in their neighborhood on routes they are familiar and comfortable with and let them lead on the distance and pace of the walk. I'm an early riser, so I typically start my day with a dogwalk and the dog's breakfast too.

Pet care experience
I grew up with an English Springer Spaniel, which started my love of dogs. In college, I volunteered at a dog shelter and sometimes fostered dogs. I have been dog and house sitting ever since. While living in Thailand, I rescued street dogs, then in Ukraine I connected displaced dogs to caring homes. In the U.S., I have done a variety of dog sitting and walking, which has included housesitting on TrustedHousesitters. This entailed taking care pet needs and general upkeep of someone’s home. I am a certified Wilderness First Responder, making me reliable for any special pet medical needs too.
