Book nowI like long walks on the beach, with your dog. I am a long time dog/animal lover and really enjoy spending time outside. I recently moved back to the Southern California area from Seattle, WA. Let's just say I'm happy to be walking in the sunshine with your fuzzy children. For experience, I have worked at an animal shelter for felines in the past, another one of our fuzzy companions.

Book nowHi! Dog walker here! I have many years of walking experience with my 2 dogs, a golden and a greyhound that are both senior ladies. I have walked shelter dogs for 5 years, so I'm familiar with lots of breeds and behaviors. I have also fostered dogs (mainly labs and a few pitties) and volunteer with the ASPCA and Humane Society US on field operations. I'm a huge worrier when it comes to leaving my own dogs for longer periods, so I will definitely be sure to give lots of feedback and pictures!
