Dog Walker @ Montreal

I grew up in a house with 10 dogs of all ages. Since I was 4 years old, I've been playing with puppies and big dogs. My family has always loved dogs, we just can't seem to live without them! They felt like my own siblings.

I recently graduated with a BA in Psychology. I'm taking some time off to relax after completing 2 degrees back to back, so my days are very flexible. I figured, what better way to spend my time than in the company of other pets. This time, I get to meet a whole lot more! I honestly couldn't think of a better way to spend my free time.
7 years ago, I adopted an adult dog from the SPCA. I was 16 at the time, but this was the first dog I ever brought home myself, Maggie has always felt like my own daughter. Adopting an adult dog taught me more about taking care of dogs than I realized. Recently my sister had a baby and it reminded me of taking care of Maggie, a senior dog requires as much care as a newborn baby. My heart is filled with love towards dogs.
Walking my dog always felt like our most bonding time. When Maggie and I walk, our pace matches up, I stop when she stops and I let her enjoy her time.
Walking for dogs isn’t just walking, it’s sniffing around and getting bits and pieces of stories of what happened on this block right before. It’s as exciting for them as watching a movie is for us. Getting to see them enjoy their time is fulfilling for me.
