My weekends aren’t complete without a walk down to the park with my friend and her dogs, some affection from my cats while I work on my laptop, and maybe some fresh eggs from my neighbors’ rambunctious chickens if I’m lucky. It wasn’t until I moved away to college that I began to fully appreciate how important animals are to my life, inspiring me to seek out more opportunities to spend time with animals. I’m also an avid hiker and nature enthusiast, so I love spending time with pets outside. I have found dog-walking to be a great reason to take regular walks around the neighborhood, and it has allowed me to meet friendly neighbors whom I never would have otherwise talked to. Lots of outside time is a major part of my style, as well as frequent updates and pictures so that you know your dog is getting the care it needs. I am a very visual person, so I like to have all instructions written out- and I tend to make checklists for each visit/day. Above all, I’ll provide lots of love and affection while you are away!
