Information Will M. would like to know about your pet

I want to know as much as you are able to tell me! How does your dog like to play? Are they leash reactive? Any allergies? Are they into fetch and/or tug of war? Are there any behaviors you are trying to address or encourage? I am happy to reinforce any training/behavior that you are practicing at home. Also, if your dog has any behavioral quirks (i.e. gets possessive over toys, but only if they're squeaky), please let me know. If I notice anything that seems out of the ordinary, I may reach out with questions.

A typical day

I live within walking distance of Franklin Park, Jamaica Pond, the Arboretum and Southwest Corridor, so depending on the weather and how your dog walks on-leash, we have lots of options. I like to mix up structured walks and off-leash play (only in enclosed areas, of course).

Pet care experience

[Note: I have set my rates to account for Rover’s 20% fee so tipping is not necessary.] Since adopting my dog Luna 6 years ago, I discovered that I have both a passion and a knack for dog care. Since 2022, this has become my full time gig. Luna was very skittish and distrusting when I first got her, but with a steady diet of exercise, training, structure and affection, she's turned into a well-adjusted pup. I have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I've done countless hours of group and 1-on-1 training with Luna so I have a solid handle on dog behavior and body language. I will keep your dog safe, stimulated, and well-cared for, as if they were my own. Your dog will spend their day alongside me and Luna, and our other 4-legged guests. I'm a firm believer that a tired dog is a happy dog so I bookend each day with lots of stimulation and exercise. I take them to hike in Franklin Park at least once a day, in addition to several additional potty breaks.
