Hi! I'm Landry and I currently reside in Pittsburg, CA. I've walked and taken care of many dogs in my 19 years and even have a sweet but energetic Alaskan Malamute myself. Although I don't have any professional experience with animals, I'm currently studying in order to become a veterinarian in my near future and by walking some furry friends I hope to gain experience! I can't wait to meet your best friend!

Bringing children along with you? (Aside from your fur babies, of course.) You'll be happy to know Pittsburg is home to an amusement park called Small World Park.

Pittsburg has plenty for dogs and their owners to do, and its proximity to the muttropolis of San Fran means that dog-friendly fun is very far away!
If you're in Pittsburg and need to take your pooch somewhere for some off-leash playtime and a little bit of socializing, one of the best places to go is the King Park Dog Park.

There are benches for the human visitors and trash stations for cleaning up your pup's messes. All you need to bring is Fido's favorite frisbee!
Redwood Regional Park is approximately 30 miles away from Pittsburg, but the short drive is well worth it. This park is a natural recreation area where dogs are allowed to explore on-leash.

There is also a lake in the area where your dog can cool off! Exploring this beautiful piece of nature will be a great way to spend some quality time with your dog. Make sure you bring water and poop bags.

Oh, and be sure to watch where you step, because the area is covered with poison oak!
