I run and cuddle!
Pet care experience
I love taking care of animals and I'm able to walk dogs regularly in all types of weather. I am offering a reduced rate for Rover customers for my first few months! I've been caring for animals my whole life. I appreciate all types of dog energy levels, and I have skills for handling all types of situations. I love to spend time outside and I try to make every walk at least 45 minutes. I've worked extensively with adopted bull dog mixes, and cared for dogs with joint and leg issues. I enjoy getting to know dogs I work with, and I'm flexible about bringing my dog along for play time, or giving some one on one human attention to a dog whose home alone.

Skills
Information Tonz H. would like to know about your pet
The biggest things I'd like to know about are what makes your dog happy, and how to keep them that way. I would like to know if there is regular aggression, what triggers it and how to interrupt it most effectively. I cannot host dogs who are constantly vocal, but I have no preferences on breed. I love to work with dogs who have special needs or skills to focus on.
A typical day
I like to take on leash walks on the bike path from Northampton over the footbridge into Hadley. I also walk around my residential neighborhood, and on the bike path through Northampton all the way to Smith College. My favorite place to throw a ball or sticks is the park on the corner of State st. and Church st. It has tall fences, with good latches and dogs are permitted off leash. There's lots of room for sprinting and quite a few trees providing fresh sticks to chase. In my yard we have space for sprinting, and for lounging under short trees and bushes, or on the porch. We have multiple soft chairs and a couch for dogs to cuddle with each other or human friends, or spend some time alone by the pellet stove. My favorite place for off leash hiking is Amethyst Brook in Amherst, before 10:00 am:)
