Daily Walks for My Energetic Lab Downtown

I am really stressed because my previous dog walker had to move suddenly out of Toronto, and now I urgently need someone reliable to take over the daily walks for my big, super-friendly Labrador, Charlie.

He needs a good 45-minute power walk every weekday around lunchtime, usually between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM, so someone with a consistent schedule is key.

I live in a high-rise near the Entertainment District, and access is via a lockbox which is pretty straightforward, but you need to be comfortable handling a large, happy dog who pulls a little at the start because he's so excited to be outside.

Charlie is a great dog, but he has a ton of energy, and with my new job demanding longer hours, I'm just overwhelmed with worry about him being cooped up all day.

You'd be responsible for making sure he gets outside for a good stretch, cleaning his paws off (especially when the sidewalks are covered in winter salt here in Toronto), and making sure his water bowl is topped up before you leave.

I'm hoping to find someone who can commit to a long-term, recurring schedule, not just a temporary fix, as I really need stability for him now, and I'd like to pay cash if that's okay.

I'm new to CityTasker, and I'd prefer to communicate via email for all scheduling logistics.
