Marathoner & Ex College Athlete

My name is Stuart, I am relocating to the area as I am starting a position at Albany Medical Center (AMC) in October. As I wait to begin my next chapter, nothing would make me more happy than to spend time with animals! I have always had a knack for the outdoors and have always had a soft spot for animals. I am an avid runner and am almost always be found running or hiking. I can guaranteed your dog will get the exercise and care he/she needs under my supervision. I have experience volunteering at the Lake Placid Vet as-well as volunteer experience at the Saranac Lake Animal Shelter. I have house sat /walked several dogs such as Australian shepherds, Labs, Bernie’s and Doodles in the past. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to me!

Stuart is so great with pets! He watched my dog cedar when I was unable to. He doesn’t take shortcuts when taking my dog out for walks, he genuinely enjoys his time with pets. Also he’s a pretty athletic guy so I’m sure if asked he’d run with your dog since he trains for marathons. Overall I think Stuart will take great care and give lots of attention to whoever’s fur baby he is watching.

Stuart (Stu) has helped me with watching my dogs several times and is always very caring toward them. He loves them like they are his own and my dogs feel the same way.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a three-story townhouse apartment. There is fenced in dog parks within the complex for easy bathroom visits as well as prolonged paved trails right next to my apartment that go into the woods for longer walks in the evening around lunchtime and in the morning. Dog Gates secure the dog within our second floor, preventing entry to third floor bedrooms and first floor mudroom. Dogs will have eyes on them at all times when not with owner.

A typical day

I love to engage with the dogs playing with toys and going on walks in the woods making the dogs feel engaged and giving them a purpose in whatever the activity is that we are doing.

Please let me know if there’s any special requirements for the dog to look out for. I work best with a list requirements of requirements to ensure nothing is missed.
