Hi ladies and gents,

Welcome to Pawdwalk Paradise!

About Me: I have grown up around animals and while I love all animals, I absolutely adore dogs. I am polite, respectful and friendly and would love the opportunity to make the acquaintance of your lovely kanine family. I am offering dog walking services and would also be happy to check in with your pets if/when you are away from home. I lead a pretty quiet life, so other than standard work hours I am flexible with meeting your needs.

Services: Dog walking - I am offering 45min walks at $18 per walk (additional $4 per extra dog). During these walks, I will teach them (if they don't already know) to stop and sit when you stop walking. This comes in handy especially at busy intersections etc. There is no extra charge for this as I do it automatically anyway.

Home Visits - I am offering 1hr visits at $22 for once a day (your preference of morning or night) and $24 for twice a day (morning & night). During the time I am there, I will make sure your pet (cat or dog, as I don't have much experience with other animals) is fed and watered and will keep them company for the hour - play with them etc.

If you would like to combine the service of home visit and dog walking, I am happy to do this adding an extra half an hour on to the 45min dog walk for the actual home visit. I can do this both morning and night and ask for $20 per walk/visit.

Skills: While I don't have any official qualifications, I have been around dogs my whole life and have successfully trained them to the common basic standards. I know some people find it hard to find the time to teach their pet(s) these simple things and I would be happy to help out with this if you're comfortable allowing me to do so. Regardless, if you get me to walk your dog for you (if he/she doesn't already know), I can teach you dog to sit and wait for you every time you stop walking. I'm proud to say my own boy doens't even need asking anymore - when we come to an intersection, he sits automatically and waits for me to give the all clear before we cross.

Motivation: I love dogs. Being around them makes me happy. I figure if I can be around dogs and help people out at the same time, its a win win.
