Hello my name is Lorne Durnford. I’m a 30 year old MUN Student (on a part time basis via distance) and a CNA Student from Mt. Pearl and this is what I’m offering to you. Though many people believe that it does not take a lot of experience to be good at walking dogs, it actually requires a number of skills. Consider first, how much you love your pets, and how you would feel if they were lost, taken
for granted, and/or mistreated by an individual you are paying. This is why you must have a candidate who knows about different breeds of dogs, is on time, and know how to care for dogs in feeding, playing, and walking dogs. Moreover, they must love dogs-otherwise all will be amiss. I have been walking dogs as long as I can remember. I am a pet owner of three dogs (Golden-doodle, a mix between a Foxhound and Beagle, and a mix between a Jack Russell Terrier and Beagle). Two out of the three are rescue dogs from Beagle Paws. I still keep in contact with Beagle Paws on occasion. I love animals, and have all the skills and experience you might need in a candidate to take care of your dog and to get rid of some of that extra energy that he or she might be carrying. My main tasks have always been taking pets for walks, playing fetch, feeding, cleaning up after and hydrating pets after long walks. My walk hours are always consistent. Rain, Snow or Shine. Was on CBC National about my business of Doggie Walkers Inc. back in the summer of 2009 about the lack of employment in Newfoundland and how many students started their own business. Rates: 10 an hour per dog….Walk max of 3 dogs at one time….Size doesn't matter as I am a 6 foot 4, 250lb individual who workouts on a regular basis. Done Numerous Running Road Races over the years. Locations available for walking Services:
