I had volunteered with rescue groups in high school and college to provide walks to dogs waiting on adoption. I grew up with cats but have had a multi-dog family for the last 3 years. I have experience with especially nervous/barky dogs and am willing to put in a little extra time to make sure I'm trusted by the dog before proceeding. I clip my dogs nails and bath/groom them, including touching up haircuts. I do have a full time job but I am afforded quite a bit of flexibility with my hours and can be flexible with dog walks/care. I do have experience running errands for humans in their home and basic housework. Caring is something I have received a lot of praise for and I hope to take that attitude for these walks as well.
