I love dogs and dogs love me

Pet care experience

Since the day I was born, I have owned a dog and there wasn't a day in my life where I didn't have a dog to call my best friend. I've had a Westie, Husky-Border Collie mix, Bichon, and currently a Coton de Tulier (the breed of dog Barbara Streisand got cloned). For the past three years I have been walking dogs and staying at their homes while their owners are away and I have formed a bond with every dog I watched. In addition to walking them, I feed them meals, give them medicine if needed as well as lots of love. My mom also boards dogs in our home under her business Purrfetch, so it is not uncommon for a bunch of little fur balls running around my house keeping me company.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and occasionally other dogs through my mom's business that will keep your dog entertained. I also have plenty of dog toys and beds. I allow and prefer for the dogs to sleep in bed with me, so if they love to sleep in bed, I am the right match for them. I care so much for the safety of dogs that I once ran into a backyard with a bear to retrieve the dog that was face to face with the bar. I study animal behavior so I knew not to panic or else I could of been Leo Dicaprio in The Revenant.

Information Alex W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if they are allowed human food that is healthy for dogs like eggs or salmon and what kind of treats they prefer.

A typical day

I typically match the energy of the dog. If they are high energy, I will find myself more active, playing fetch with them and running around like a kid inventing different kinds of games and if they are more tame, I will end up cuddling with them and giving belly rubs while watching TV or listening to music. Some of them like the sound of me playing the guitar or piano. If you would like me to take them for a special walk in the woods or around a lake, that would be great!
