Disponibilidad
My career is self-employed so I can be very flexible to help on short notice. I'm available to visit your place, usually inside 15 minutes drive from mine. I usually don't board at my place, but there is a fenced yard here and small guests can work.

I have done many jobs with perfect ratings for respecting and protecting your security. For sitting I need very few amenities (a couch works or a guest room is great). For drop-in, ask me for a meet & greet to discuss in person. No charge for that. I'll rely on your instructions and only mix your pets with mine if you think it's OK. My pets are small, old, and sleep a lot.
Información que a Pat L. le gustaría saber sobre tu mascota
You should inform me about diet, behavior, any special needs or triggers for issues, and what sort of activity level you expect. Please tell me if the pet is neutered, un-neutered pets may be turned away. Pets must be in good health, protected from fleas, and collared with name and phone number on it. I'm most likely to work with clients who know what their pets need to feel comfortable and happy, and give good instructions.

Walks around the block are easy, but I like to take dogs to explore different routes besides the usual. Expect effort for photos. Usually these are solo walks (I don't group multiple dogs). I usually don't do car trips unless asked, but I can find good parks and make sure they run and play with me.

Experiencia en el cuidado de mascotas
I care for special needs pets that other walkers won't. My clients range from anxious small dogs who need patient socializing, to huge and reactive ones who aren't easy to walk, and all in between. Try me if you want a fairly tall and fit guy who can handle it all. I do one-on-one, no groups, and every pet gets treated like my dogs. In 2010 I started volunteering to walk dogs at the SF City shelter, and adopted my chihuahua Diamond. She's now a veteran for bike rides in my backpack and more known than I am in cycling groups. My second dog Comet was an "unadoptable" shelter dog who bit from defensive anxiety, until he got socialized with patience and love to be a best friend for life. Avery was third, a yorkie-chihuahua who was a client - his owner asked if I knew any place to rehome him and I said no way is he going to a stranger. Siri is an elder shih tzu who I took care of for someone who ended up abandoning him, and I rushed to rescue him when I found out. I never planned to have 4 but that's how they all got a forever home together. This is a job for love more than money, it's a healthy addition to my 20 years of self employment as merchant, teacher, artist and writer. I love helping you and your pet while doing the miles outdoors rain or shine. I am pretty flexible for any days, any times. If you have a need apart from what my calendar says, reach out and ask. I can do other services like house sitting, rides to the park or vet, LATE night drop in, or custom drawn pet portraits for frameable gifting. I live close to Fruitvale BART and love nearby clients I can ride a bike to.
