I'm patient, fit, and love all dogs and cats! I have one dog who is perfectly behaved and well-trained and another who's a good girl, but still pulls on leash and lunges at skateboards. They will be staying at home, but I understand that not all dogs are perfectly behaved and there's no judgement from me. Moreover, not only do I have plenty of experience with well-trained dogs, but I have valuable experience with reactive dogs and pups that aren't perfect. I'm calm, loving, and have the patience and strength to handle a little rebellion along with the awareness to be on the lookout for things that may trigger an excitable dog. Walking or watching your dog is a huge responsibility. I'm always on the lookout for things like broken gIass, food, napkins, and especially foxtails. I have my own bags and treats (I make sure any treats are approved by you first). Specialties include a ton of experience with puppies, disabled dog experience (including manually expressing bladder) and being very good walking two dogs at once (I max out at 2) I mentioned above the reactive dog experience, but I also have a wealth of experience administering meds (to both dogs and cats) and knowledge of doggy first aid and dietary issues. I also am very good with cats having had 3 of them in our household growing up. I take great pride in winning over the trust and affection of a shy or timid kitty. I love sharing pics of the shy kitty snuggling or playing. I should add that I stay vaccinated and boosted. Let's set up a meet-and-greet!
