Experienced dog walker and carer

Pet care experience

My mom is a dog breeder, so I have spent a lot of time around dogs throughout my life—especially wheaten terriers! I care for my sister’s corgi as well. I work from home, so I would love to get out of the house ~2 times a day for a walk! I am available around 12 and around 4, but am definitely flexible, as I make my own schedule! I am comfortable getting a pet from your home if they are locked when I arrive. I do not offer washing, but could feed and give fresh water.

Information Merriam A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if there are any medical issues I should be aware of. I would like to know how far they like to walk. I would like to know if they have any particular triggers that can cause bad behavior.

A typical day

I love long walks, especially up to Meridian park. On a typical walk, we will go for a mile or two depending on their size, maybe stop for coffee and enjoy the outdoors! I carry a water bottle and bowl to keep hydrated during the DC summer.
