I absolutely love dogs and would love to take care of your low to medium energy dog for the week or weekend! I work from home full time. I also have a 2.5 year old so need a dog that is child-friendly. I am only taking small/medium and ideally low energy dogs right now. I can take dogs on nice long walks--I live very close to a beautiful shoreline in Alameda. At this time, only looking for low-maintenance dogs who are non-aggressive to other dogs or people and non leash reactive. After I've watched your dog, I offer discounts for my return clients--I'm very picky about the dogs I watch so once I know your dog clicks with my family we can have a beautiful relationship! I have been dog sitting & dog walking for over 10 years! I love every animal like they are part of my family. My father is a very experienced pet trainer who has been a great source of information for me. I will love your dog like you do, but probably shower it with even MORE attention because I don't have a doggo of my own so it's such a treat for me to watch your baby. You should book me if: -you want the experience of a good friend watching your dog (lots of pictures, text updates, walks, and snuggles). I am not a professional but I will look after your dog like it is my own. -low to medium energy dog: I can only handle 1-2 hours of walks a day at the moment -non-aggressive and good on the leash (pulling OK but being aggressive not) Do *not* book me if: -your dog hates children! I have a child in the house. They'll never be together unsupervised but safety first and so I will not take any dogs who don't like / tolerate children -your dog is aggressive with other dogs / can't be on a leash - I live in an area with a ton of other dogs that will inevitably interact with your dog during a walk -if you are looking for a professional walker. I work 9-5 full-time from home!
