    Company for my dog.

    Experience with dogs necessary.

    Pooch is 65 lbs, strong, and gets pretty excited when squirrels, deer & raccoons are nearby.

    Very sweet, loving, happy .& low maintenance dog (sleeps a lot) who is emotionally tuned in and sensitive.

    You will be responsible for going on 2 decent (45 minutes at least) on leash walks every day, rain or shine.

    We typically walk 2-3 km in the morning and the 3-8 km in the afternoon. You will be required to provide this level of exercise for her - no matter what the weather. Rain gear & good water proof hiking shoes or boots recommended.

    I will share information about some great trails and beaches to help you explore the gulf island I live on while you are out walking with my doggo.
