Hey, I’m Rusty! I live in the South Bay Area and I have 4 dogs of my own- 2 Shih Tzu’s, 1 Papillon, and 1 English Bulldog. Aside from caring for my own dogs, I have been gaining additional animal husbandry experience by volunteering at The Marine Mammal Center. I have also taken the Dog Trainer Foundations certification course through the Karen Pryor Academy, a prestigious dog training school. The course has provided me with in depth knowledge in canine behavior and training. Taking care of animals is something that I’m extremely passionate about and that is why I’m a walker with Wag!. I understand that your dog(s) are a member of your family therefore you can be assured that your pup will be in great hands. I look forward to caring for your dog!
Hi I'm Lindsay! I grew up surrounded by adorable animals, including my beautiful golden retrievers, Nutmeg and Lexi. I love dog-sitting and dog walking for my friends which helped me realize my passion for it! I also volunteered at a local animal shelter socializing dogs so they had a better chance of getting adopted. And lastly, my degree in Psychology gives me a strong understanding of animal behaviors, so I'm confident I can care for your fuzzy friend!
