Hi, my name is Annie and I am a 26 year old Irish girl who has just moved to Sydney. I am a huge animal lover, especially dogs (my one and only tattoo that I have gotten is for my dog). I am a reliable, friendly and trustworthy person who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I have grown up around dogs, cats, horses and sheep. My family has three dogs at home, two border collies and a papillon so I am used to handling dogs of different sizes, ages and breeds. I am happy to tailor each walk to suit their individual needs whether they prefer a slow paced or long active walk. I have also looked after a dog in its own home for a week, giving me experience with maintaining a pet's normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and have experienced this with my own dogs. I am patient with nervous or shy dogs and always allow them time to build trust at their own pace. With energetic dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise while keeping walks safe, fun and well controlled. Safety is always my priority, so I stay alert during walks, use secure leads where needed, avoid busy roads if appropriate, and choose routes that best suit your dog's temperament and fitness level. As I am currently staying in Maroubra, I am available for dog walking in Maroubra and the surrounding areas. In warmer weather, I will plan walks during the cooler parts of the day where possible, stick to shaded routes, carry water, and monitor dogs closely to ensure they stay comfortable and hydrated. I am flexible and can work around your schedule. I am happy to walk up to two dogs at a time, with walks ranging from 30 minutes to 1 hour. I will keep you updated with photos and messages during or after each walk, letting you know how your dog got on, where we walked, and anything you should know when you get home.
