Love all animals ❤
Pet care experience
I have had cats, dogs, and other small creatures since I was 5 years old. I love animals and have been taking care of them for about 15 years now. My first dog, Lucky a chiggy mix, lived to be 20 years old. Nearing the end of his days we were changing his diapers, giving him medicine daily, and tending to his elderly needs. I have a lot of patience and experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. As of right now, I do not own any dogs or cats due to apartment rules, but I do own a bunny, 3 chinchillas, a leopard gecko, and fish. Chinchillas and the bunny take a lot of patience and time but so worth it. I also take care of my moms rescue dog while she is away on vacation. I have a decent amount of spare time since school is online so I would like to use that spare time walking doggo's or playing with some cats. Also, I am fully vaccinated and am willing to wear a mask if need be.
Reviews
Anthony was great. Stella instantly took a liking to him and he had a great handle on her. Thank you Anthony for showing Stella around and giving her some much needed fresh air. I think she missed you last night :-!
Anthony is always top notch and my animals are well taken care of in our absence. Definitely recommend him 💯
Anthony is the absolute best!
Anthony is probably the best dog sitter I’ve had in Seattle. Communication is everything & he’s dealt with my brain fog so graciously. My girl adores him & I can’t say enough great things. Literally the best! Book him, book him often & tip him because he deserves all of it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! :)
About Anthony L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Keeping your pet safe while they are in my care is my top priority. I will always follow their physical, dietary, and emotional needs that you have set for your pet in the home. Any medicine regime, leash or walking regime, training techniques, you need me to follow I will always follow through with. Off leash dog parks are possible for me once I have established trust with you and the pet. Until then, leashed walks, fenced yard play,, or runs are the only activity I can do. I believe in positive reinforcement for animals to learn and be happy.
Information Anthony L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any medical concerns, medicines, dietary restrictions, agressiveness around other dogs and humans, signs the animal gives when they are tired, hurt, or h2ungry, do they mind being picked up? Certain places the dog dislikes being pet...etc
A typical day
Depending on the owners requests, I some times bring along a toy or rope to play with. Occasionally a tennis ball if they're okay to go off leash. My favorite place is Marymoor dog park or Green Lake Park. I can always find closer spots around the owners home to have a fun time with the doggo. Bitter Lake and Green Lake are also really cool places to go. A loop or 2 around Green lake would tire most dogs out.

Availability
I "recently" moved out to Gig harbor and currently work at a grocery store 30-40 hrs a week. I do have time in the early morning and after work for walks/drop in/house sit. I would stop by in the AM, walk and play with the animal(s), make sure they use the potty, give them food, water and meds (if needed), and give them pets and/or a treat then repeat after work. The most time your pet would be alone is 8hrs. If you are a short distance from me i can also do 3 drop ins, instead of 2. Notice* when I house sit for clients I usually dont stay the night. I do stay pretty late and hang out with the animals, then return super early in the AM.
