I love Cats and Dogs!
Pet care experience
I’ve always owned a pet, my first dog lived for 18 years. Now I own two cats, one is a blind rescue and has a history of abuse. Thanks to plenty of love from my wife and I she is perfectly okay with our new kitty and the other pets we have over for play dates. We treat animals in my house as if they are part of the family. That being said we only watch dogs and cats that are okay with other cats. We have a cat tree for cats to get exercise on as well as a yard for dogs. I can stay awake as late as you request with the pets during overnights and my wife is always awake by 6 am.
Reviews
Fast response, great sitter who sent pictures and updates! Would use again for sure. Thank you!
I’ve known Calvin for a year, now, and he has been the most attentive person my cats could want! He stays on top of feeding and giving them water as well as cleaning their litter boxes. Likewise, Calvin loves to play with both cats. He’s even able to get my older, blind cat to play when she normally has no interest. I would highly recommend Calvin to care for any pets!

Safety, trust & environment
I will follow any instructions you give exactly. Other than that I treat all animals in my home as family. I have trained dogs with behavioral issues for adoption centers before so if your dog is untrained I can assist with that. Cats are allowed to free roam however our house is set up to be a climbing safe environment with soft flooring to help with any jumping cats landings. The cats have three liter boxes that are cleaned every other day. Dogs will be taken out for walks or to our yard depending on preference every 3-4 hours depending on owner preference.
Home
Information Calvin H. would like to know about your pet
Any allergies or medical issues. Their favorite things to do. Any rules you have in your home (no jumping on the couch or bed) so we can uphold those standards in our home. Any training they need like leash training while walking or crate training I can assist and have done behavioral training for new dogs before.
A typical day
I love going for walks to the park next to my house as well as to the shopping district that is very pet friendly up the street. I can go for runs with high energy dogs. I have toys and can play tug of war with any pups.
