I've recently moved to Waiheke Island from Auckland, and thought I would give dog walking another try! I have taken a 5 year break after I got a new dog, and now I believe it suits my lifestyle to dogwalk again.

I am hopeful to find another well behaved pooch to accompany my border collie and I on walks out in our new outdoor environment, which is usually around the beaches or vineyards.  

In terms of experience, I've had three dogs in my life since puppies, a cocker spaniel when I was 12 and an Aussie Sheperd when I was 28, and a border collie who is 5 years old. 

I know medium to large dogs well and know the basics of behavioural training. My preference is more toward walking active or herding breeds.
I am a 45 year old professional, with my husband and six year old. My family and I enjoy the outdoors and having dogs in our life. 

I'm doing this to bring in some extra cash as well as to help people who might be struggling with mobility or time constraints, and its also a great way for my dog to socialise and make friends. I have found dog walking a way to be incentivised to take longer walks and get exercise (for both me and Luna!)

Best to meet up and have a initial chat/visit with my dog to check compatibility.

They need to be up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments please, and well enough behaved around other dogs and be off-lead (with some initial visits and training.  

I do have a station wagon that is good for dogs so can do pickups/dropoffs in the area. I can also give them a rinse if they get sandy or dirty during the day.
