20. Andrea B.
About: I grew up with 2 black labs and have experience with dogs of all sizes. I trained my younger black lab to go on runs with me and walked dogs in college. I currently have a 2 year old Bernedoodle who loves to play and go for walks. I currently have a flexible hybrid work schedule and would love to walk dogs on the days I am working from home (mostly Mondays and Fridays but I have a flexible schedule). I would also be open to dog sitting on the weekend. I love to go on runs and would love to take your pup to the park to run around for a bit. I also enjoy long walks on my hour lunch breaks.
