Highlights
Pet care experience
Have leash, will travel :)
I've taken care of dogs ages 2 and up, but most of my experience has been with senior dogs. My most recent animals were 17.5 and 16.5 years old when they passed. My current animal is an energetic 13 years old. :-)

Schedule
I'm looking to walk or care for dogs around regular employment. I have some flexibility so as to adjust to your needs. I expect to offer services during the week and sometimes on the weekend for one time arrangements.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have bonded with more than one dog that reportedly “only bond with women.” They usually come to me quickly, but on their schedule making adjustments for the dog in front of me. The most recent animal I cared for and didn't live with at the time was always very excited to see me walk in the door as he knew I would take him for a walk 2 minutes later.
Pets
A typical day
Activities with your dog will depend on what you want them to get or do, what they are able to do, and what they want to do. I'll take my lead from you and make decisions with your gospel. My regular activity with our dog is walking him twice a day and too many trips to count for him to go out to potty when he's awake.

- How old are they? How do they interface with other animals and people? Is there an additional goal to my visit or walk besides make them feel loved and taken care of with contact or exercise? Exhaust them? Stimulate them with puzzle activities? Light exercise as they don't breathe as well as we might hope? Let them snif around a dog friendly area and provide protection from other dogs/people/whatever? Should I help them hunt squirrels(one dog I had loved this and never got close enough to hurt themselves or the squirrel, too worrisome to allow if I thought for a second he'd be able to catch it)
