I will fit your dog into the right group. I carefully introduce each new dog to the group so that all are relaxed and harmonious. Each walk lasts at least 30 to 40 minutes and the total outing time might longer, depending on your location and your dog's needs.
Your dog's safety is my top priority. That's why we avoid dog parks and other areas with loose, unknown dogs. I do my best to keep your dog from getting bit or biting others! Staying out of dog parks means we also avoid health hazards that may lurk there.
I usually walk 4 dogs together, up to 6 if some are small.
* 2 walks per week minimum for dogs signing up for regular group walks *
No minimum walks per week for occasional dog walks that are not part of the group.
Tiny dogs can ride in a pouch !
Cat Sitting
I can tend to your cat while you are away. Of course, that includes feeding and litter box cleaning plus petting and playing with toys if that pleases your feline. I will water plants, bring in mail and vary your lighting if you so desire.
Chicken Sitting
I have experience caring for chickens.
