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

I would enjoy taking leisurely walks with up to two dogs depending on their size and behavior. Larger dogs and harder to walk dogs I would love to take one at a time. I have experience walking larger dogs, but will not walk two at a time unless both are very calm for their safety and mine.

I like to go on leisurely, casual walks as well as active, adventurous ones. It really depends on what the dog wants to do. I am okay with walking up to 4 dogs at once. More friendly dogs can go to parks, less friendly ones can go on private hiking trails or even just stay around the neighborhood.

Walks will be on a case by case basis, if the dog happens to be older I will take it slower and shorter, and if the dog is young/energetic, the walks will be a little more involved. I also live near a walking park and a dog park, so we will have plenty of time and places to go.

I would be willing to walk probably 2 dogs at once just depends on how well they walk on a leash and how big they are. While walking dogs I would have short times where we run a little bit. Other then that it would be a normal walk or a speed walk depending on the dogs energy.

I prefer to do solo or walks with two dogs; as to give your dog as much love and attention as it deserves. I walk at a brisk pace and can also run if your dog is high energy and would like the exercise. I usually walk in the local neighborhood you live in, so the dog is familiar with the surroundings or go to a park if it is unsafe for the animal. If you already have a walking routine I would love to follow that so your dog is comfortable and happy.

I'm a very relaxed person so the walks I provide are leisurely walks around the neighborhood. I'm always willing to try new things, so if there is a suggested walking destination provided, I'm more than willing to comply! I am comfortable with walking multiple dogs as long as they are not (reasonably) unruly. But, I am a dog lover, and I do understand that any type of walks a dog is subjected to will result in more than just a wagging tail. As long as the dogs allow me to walk them, and not vice versa, walking multiple dogs is not an issue for me!

I like to only walk two-three dogs at a time so that I can be in good controle and can give them one on one love while walking. I walk at a normal pace and take water breaks occasionally. I will play fetch with dogs if their owners allow it and it is in a safe in closed place, such as a yard. I often bring my dog along who is updated on all of her shots and friendly with everything and everyone. She is also a service dog for diabetes.

Can be whatever the owner prefers and the needs of the dog! My pup loves to be off leash on walks and loves to play frisbee! I am also a runner so if your pup needs a run I am happy taking your pup along! Free to do an easy stroll around the park or even just the neighborhood alone or with others!

About me: I have lots of experience with long terms dogs that I have watched or still currently watching. I watch two German shepherds for a little over 6 months. The owner travels back and forth for his job every week so he hired me permanently for his dogs when he travels. One of them was still a puppy when he started to use my services. I got to watch her grow and developed a strong bond with her. I also have watched various of other dogs at long terms for different reasons which lasted anywhere from two to three months. I would be more than happy to provide their info if you wish to speak to them as a reference so that you feel more secure on your pups stay. I am also a foster for dogs that are either lost, abused, abandoned, and other various reasons. I will first try to find their owner if they are lost or wandering. I have done that for three dogs that got out of their backyard I'm supposing and was wandering around. I didn't want them to get ran over and I don't have the heart to drive away. However, I usually reunited them with their family within 24 hours thanks to the help of social media. With that being said, I try to keep lots of extra doggy treats, play toys, and everything else that may be accommodating for your pup on their stay to make them feel more at home. I will send updates as frequently as I can and hope to give you the best stress free service.

Thanks so much for reading!
