Pet care experience

Experienced & Athletic Dog Walker.

I was not always a dog lover. It took 30 years for me to meet Lucy, my first love. I found an ad for walking a 13 year old Pitt on weekends and wondered how hard could it be? But I learned that she had a soul and saw pieces of her personality that really made her an individual. This is the point where I found what had been missing for so many years. I enjoying taking my 4 leg friends on field trips when possible. My favorite places to go include Orchard Beach ( usually in autumn, spring and winter months ) and Pelham Park. I have taken clients to the city, mindfull of course of individual tolerances. One thing i can promise is we will not be bored !

Schedule

I have a regular job in outpatient healthcare and am gone normal workday hours. I have a helper with keys who usually comes MOST days. If you’re reading this and want a per diem petcare job , know there is one available with me. I am an early riser and starting my day walking a dog is the perfect pretense for a great day. I want to reiterate that I LOVE taking long walks and we do not get bored.

Safety, trust & environment

I genuinely believe dogs have their own personalities and can create a schedule based their individuality. If caretaking in your home, know that I respect people’s property and belongings , as that’s how I was raised.

A typical day

Depending on their needs and personality, we can explore new neighborhoods for hours or play home with their fav. toy. Sometimes I bring dogs along when I have to run around doing errands. All dogs are different so after a day together and reading the profile provided by parents I make an itinerary that suits their needs.

Before spending time alone with any animal I ask “ Is there anything I need to know?” This is not a joke. Safety first for all parties.
