I have been dog sitting / walking since I was a young teen regularly for friends and family the past 20 years. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be with adorable and amazing animals during the day and a car that I can easily travel to see them in. I am very active and love being outside and understand the need for a dog to get as much exercise as possible and also understand that it is difficult for dog owners to satisfy those exercise needs when they have a busy work schedule. I am reliable, energetic and love dogs as well as being outside and walking no matter what the weather is like. I grew up with dogs and love to playing with them and taking them out. I am cautious of their behavioral needs and do what is necessary to walk them in a responsible manner. I have experience working with highly anxious dogs that are difficult around other dogs and I have been able to successfully walk them and meet their needs without any anxiety triggers by choosing to walk them in areas that are remote and feel safe or them.
