Jeremiah did a great job with following our instructions to meet the needs of our senior dog. He made sure to tailor the walks to meet her specific needs based on the temperature and if her legs were bothering her on a specific day. She became very familiar with Jeremiah over the few weeks we were away, and got very excited to see him each time he came to take her for a walk. Thanks, Jeremiah!
