In brief: 👨🏻‍🎓9 years experience ✔️Considerate, Confident, Thorough 🌞Can jog or intensive play with high energy dogs 🌛Can administer medication/care for seniors ⛅️Comfortable with anxious dogs 💥Comfortable with reactive dogs 😽Plenty of experience with and love for cats 📸 @gimmethosepuppyeyes 📣 Vacations/short term only ❣️ I have deeply loved and been lucky enough to live with dogs my entire life. I began professionally walking dogs in 2014 and have learned quite a bit since then. I’ve individually worked with every age range and a broad spectrum of sizes and breeds. Most notably I’ve worked full time at a busy daycare and managed large groups of different temperaments and their interactions with each other. Since then, while I love just getting dogs out to stretch their legs, I have also found that working on behavioral development with less responsive dogs (as I practiced often at the daycare) strengthens our relationship, and makes my time with them more enjoyable for both of us. ✌🏼 I welcome a “problem child” As far as special needs, I’m very familiar with administering medication and pacing slowly for seniors, and also perfectly comfortable with hyperactive dogs. I am comfortable with reactive/aggressive dogs as long as they have been muzzle trained or have strict protocol, as well as those with lunging or barking habits. 🐅🐾🐈‍⬛🐾🐆🐾🐈✨ When I was younger I considered myself a “dog person” but then I moved into the city. I was delighted by all the ferile friends until I soon enough saw how difficult their lives are. Over the years, I took countless cats in for shots and spaying, ferried major health risks to no-kill shelters, and generally fed and monitored my local crew, finding homes as I could for the more indoor oriented kits. They’re very particular creatures, and I’m by no means a magician— in my experience, cats have no guarantees— but I understand their needs as best I can and I love them very, very much. As with dogs, I am comfortable administering medication to cats, including insulin. 🤲🏻💕
