The nation's largest network of 5-star pet sitters and dog walkers

I like to walk dogs separately because that way they get one-on-one attention. If a dog has a lot of energy I like to run or jog with them! At first I like to walk in a routine direction, rarely steering off course, so the dog becomes comfortable with me and I can observe it's habits/tendencies, and then once we are acquainted, I like to go on more exploratory walks.

I love all types of strolling. For little dogs I'm happy to go slow, for big dogs happy to help them get all their energy out. I'm always up for playing at the dog park, throwing balls, whatever makes them happy. Solo, multiple, whatever is necessary.

I love walks of all kinds! I'm a very active person so I love taking pups for jogs/brisk walks as well as more leisurely walks along quiet streets in Venice and along Rose Ave. I'm most comfortable walking with up to two dogs at a time and can walk for up to an hour twice per day.

I can do multiple or just a single pup. Walks can be done once or twice a day or even more depending on location. Walks to the beach and back.

I will be open to what the dog needs and base that on communication with the owner. I will ensure that the animal is given direct and undivided attention. Whatever the needs of the doggie are I will do whatever it takes to make sure that he/she gets it. If it is a slow loop around the block or up to a 5 mile jog I can accommodate. I am also happy to take the doggie to the dog park. I am available for up to 2 dogs of any size. If you would like for me to run with the doggies I prefer it to just be one of any size.

I take fairly leisurely walks, and would only take 1 dog (or 1 owners dogs) out at a time. You never know how they will get along and I just want to be careful! Also can run a little with the dog if they like.

I would go alone and make sure we went to doggy friendly locations in Santa Monica/Venice. I always clean up after the dog too, of course!

**ABOUT DOG WALKING**
I am an experienced Dog Walker. I will send you an activity report, picture of distance/route and a photo update after every walk. I stay away from busy streets and always try to walk a minimum mile on a 30 minute walk.

Let me know if you have any questions about my Walking service.

I am open to any dog walking style you'd like. I can do solo dog walks, dog walks with multiples if your dog likes to socialize (my dog is always ready to play,) fast paced walks or runs, leisurely walks, anything! I love walking dogs and getting outside and am willing to do whatever to meet the dog's exercise needs. :)

Every dog is different, I basically let them take the lead within reason. (we won't be chasing squirrels). I can walk or run or take a leisurely stroll, but if I feel that the dog could use a bit more exercise I can teach him to stroll and not stop and sniff every single bush. I'm good at training dogs on the leash. If there's a nice trail in the hills or a park around, I know that dogs love nature just as much as I do, so that's where we'll want to go. Sometimes they get excited and so I'm happy to run for a bit. We drink water every chance we get and if there are other dogs its nice to be social, but if I feel there's any aggressive behavior we peacefully avoid situations and cross the street or move to the side on a short leash and sit for a bit. Doggie treats are good to have so we can reinforce and reward good behavior. I'm a yoga teacher so we also take stretch breaks. They copy my poses often times. I bring tennis balls or a frisbee so we can play.
