Great with high energy dogs!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Anthony! I am a HUGE dog lover that would love to care for your dog(s) when you are away. I have cared for dogs since I was a child, and am currently the proud owner of an American Pitbull Terrier (4 years) and a Staffordshire Terrier (2 years). I am also very experienced in the care of senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I once owned an English Pointer dog who had a stroke at age 15. His required care after the stroke was extensive: administering roughly a dozen medications per day, hand feeding him water and baby food using a syringe, urine and feces clean up, teaching him how to walk again, and carrying him up and down the stairs for bathroom breaks several times per day (he wasn't able to handle stairs after the stroke). I also went to great lengths to provide relief for his arthritis through the use of medication, joint movement, massage and applying warm compresses. He lived to be almost 17 years old against all odds! Rates: Dog walking: $18 per 30 minute walk for one dog, plus $5 for each additional dog. Vacation dog care: $50 per day/night for one dog, plus $5 for each additional dog. This includes 3 walks per day (in the morning, afternoon and evening), plus overnight stay in your home, feeding, mail pick up, and of course lots of play time! Grooming: $25 for bathing and nail clipping. I provide hypo-allergenic oatmeal shampoo for maximum gentle cleaning. We will discuss your dogs grooming needs beforehand, as well as any anxiety issues, allergies, etc. so I can do my best to provide them a stress-free experience.

I hired Anthony to care for my senior dog while I was out of town for 5 nights. He was fantastic! I could tell right away at our "Meet and Greet" that he has a natural bond with dogs, and can really relate to them and quickly gain their trust. He went above and beyond to ensure that my dog was as comfortable as possible during my absence. He sent daily updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. I will definitely hire him again!

Information Anthony P. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, I love all dogs! I will always schedule a "Meet and Greet" first to make sure that we are a good fit, as well as discussing your dog's routine: medications, feeding, bathroom habits, and anything else that will help me provide a stress free experience for your pup!

A typical day

Every dog has their favorite spot to play! We can visit Horner Park, which I live one block away from. We can also head to the lake for some exercise! Some dogs might not be friendly with other dogs, in which case we can enjoy a long walk around the neighborhood, or playing with your dog's favorite toys at home, or in your back yard. We'll discuss what your dog loves to do the most!
