Athletic, and love running w/ dogs!

Pet care experience

I have had dog(s) my entire life! I've lived with or taken care of dogs of all sizes! The first dog my parents ever had was a Husky/German Shepard mix, to my grandparents owning a poodle and schnauzer! I my self currently have a 4 year old basset hound. I do work a full time job, but I am available days/nights/weekends (times vary depending on the day)! I have given, and am able to give dogs oral medication, if needed. I have plenty of dog toys at the house, and enjoy playing tug of war. The yard is not fenced in, but I dont leave them unsupervised while outside, and have a big enough car to take dogs to the dog park (which my dog enjoys!) Dogs are allowed on all furniture, and for dogs staying the night, also allowed on the bed!

Alarick is a great sitter! My puppy has lots of energy, and when I took him home, he had so much fun he just fell asleep! Very friendly as well!

Alarick has been taking care of a variety of animals all his life. In addition to being very good with dogs, he's tended to cats, chickens, turtles, snakes, and even salamanders. He's extremely responsible, dependable, and has a gentle but firm way, even managing our large, rambunctious dog with ease.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will definitely burn some energy with me on walks, or check ins! I am fairly athletic, so if your dog likes to run on "walks" (I know my dog does!) Then that won't be a problem and they'll be nice and tired! Or on check ins, if the pet wants to play I'm always up for some fetch or tug of war!

Information Alarick S. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, all dogs are welcome! I would like to know if they get along well with other dogs, as I have my own dog! I would like to know if the dog being watched has any special feeding needs/requirements

A typical day

Go on walks around the neighbor hood, or take a quick drive down to the dog park and let them run around in a safe enclosed area! Also plenty of dog toys at house for dogs to play with! And of course plenty of belly rubs!
