Dogs and I 'get' each other!
Pet care experience
Why do I love dogs? There's nothing like being greeted by a wide-brimmed-dog-smile! I love being around the completely natural enthusiasm of these furry creatures. And a better walking companion could probably not be found anywhere! Dogs invariably remind me of what really matters - to get into nature, enjoy spending time outside, move the body, play, make new friends every day, give and receive friendly touch, drink enough water, and get a good nights rest! I'd rather do anything than get cooped up indoors for too long - Let's hit the trails together!
About Whitney L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I tend to error on the side of caution when it comes to pet safety. I would prefer to keep your pet in a securely fenced space and/or on a leash, rather than take any chances. I also adhere to the feeding and treat regimens that you advise - I would rather stick with what is known to work well for your dog than introduce any variation to their diet and routines. We can meet to go over specific needs and instructions before scheduling our time together!
Information Whitney L. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog more active or lethargic? How well does she get along with other dogs? Squirrels, cats? How does she do off leash? Ideal walk, water and food times?
A typical day
Hendry's, Douglas Family Preserve, Ellwood, Parma Park, San Marcos Foothills, and Hot Springs Canyon, are some of my top picks! depending on your (dog's) preference and where you are located :) I'm also happy for a simple neighbourhood walk or some run-around time in the backyard, during a day of pets and cuddles with your pup while I read and write.

Availability
I have a flexible schedule and can easily plan around your dog's routine and needs. Standard morning and evening times for walks and meals are easy to fit in, and I can generally accomodate more frequent and/or hourly care if need be.
