About: Hi! My name is Deaven. I am a United States Marine Corps veteran and a former law enforcement officer! I currently have a German Shepherd and two cats! I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. Even when I was a young child, I used to help my grandmother out at her pet sitting business. I have been employed as a dog walker by “Wag!” and have had 0 complaints from any of my clients. I have been around all types and sizes of dogs from a teacup chihuahua to a Great Dane. Whenever duty calls, I am always eager to answer the phone. Anything you or your dog need, never hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I’m currently working part time at the hospital, so I’ll have plenty of time to fit you and your furry friends into my schedule ! I have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly German Shepherd that would love a new friend! I can also crate your dog if needed or keep your dog separate from mine.
