My love of dogs goes back to the summer of 2014 when I started my first pet care business, "Walking Lucky". Since then I've completed two Canine First Aid & CPR Courses, fostered three rescues, and I've accumulated over 9 years of professional experience.

In spring of 2018 I spent a month in Huila, Colombia as a volunteer aid at an animal sanctuary for abandoned cats and dogs. There I learned to wean newborn pups and kittens, administer medication, build trust with animals with trauma, and understand the fundamentals of animal care.

Today, I continue to work with animals as a walker, and offer a minimum of 1 hour walks in the A.M to dogs in the L7A area code.

**What to expect**
The types of activities your pet and I will get up to are:
- 1 hour minimum morning walks (for the same rate as 30 minute walks)
- Adventures to hiking trails and conservation areas
- Cuddles and belly rubs
- Lots and lots of TLC
- Regular health checks (CPR & Standard First Aid Certified)
- Behavioural reinforcement
- Frozen apple slices (if they're a certified good girl or boy)
- And did I mention TLC? :)

I do have a corporate job in event coordination for large festivals in Toronto.Thankfully I work remotely and have full autonomy over my work schedule. I offer morning walks between 6:00-7:30AM on weekdays.

With over 9 years of experience, I am well versed in dealing with a variety of house sitting/pet sitting situations that may arise. I respond, NOT react with professionalism, patience and a pet- centred, solution oriented approach.
