I have been around dogs all of my life. I grew up with two dogs; a golden retriever named Ritz, and a terrier name Shamus. I loved my dogs and used to like to take them out on walks and play with them. Every day after school I would come home and take care of my dogs; walks, feeding, and play time. Both those dogs have passed on. :( Currently, my living situation does not allow me to own a dog. I do however like to be around dogs when possible. This is why I am walking and caring for dogs. It's the best of both worlds, I get to hang around dogs, and make some extra money. Right now I work from home and I set my own hours. My availability is wide open six days of the week. This is good if you need someone to come over at off hours or need someone to come by multiple times a day. Knowing what the dog likes to do is important. I would like to provide the best experience for your dog. My goal is have the dog feel comfortable; this can be accomplished by keeping the dog in it's normal routine as much as possible. I try my best to do that. Any time I provide my services I will give your dog 100% of my time and attention. When I walk dogs I pay attention to the dog. How fast the dog is able to walk, how much energy the dogs has that day. I try to accommodate to the dogs needs. I like to take dogs around neighborhood streets trying to avoid major road ways. For most dogs I keep a fairly fast pace; so your dog can get a decent walk in 30 minutes. I would like to help care for your pet. If you give me a chance I think you and your dog will be happy.
