About Arkaz V.

Safety, trust & environment

For house sitting, I can maintain your dog's training and exercise schedule, administer meds, and track how your dog's doing throughout the day for your benefit! The home will be left as it was when I arrived, so you don't have to worry about coming home to a mess. I can administer subcutaneous injections and oral meds. Special needs dogs welcome!

Information Arkaz V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is reactive (toward dogs, children, etc.), any specific fears, allergies, and any special accommodations needed. I also want to know if your dog is intact or fixed. For your pup's benefit, it would also be good to know their favorite games, toys, activities, and treats!

A typical day

For dog-friendly pups, we will go to the dog park for at least 3 hours of closely supervised play! For all pups, I love to play high-energy training games and go on adventures!

Pet care experience

I'm a dog handler at East Valley Animal Shelter, including supporting fearful and timid dogs. I have some experience training shelter puppies and my own puppy in basic obedience, tricks, and house training. Most of my experience has been with smaller dogs (<40 lb), but I have also handled dogs up to 140 lb outside the shelter! I have a firm but gentle approach that lets dogs know what humans expect - while being loved and respected at the same time! (But if you want me to spoil your pup to bits, I'm more than happy to!) As a gay man, pets of all parents are safe with me! 🌈✨️

Arkaz is one of the kindest and most professional pet caregivers I have had the pleasure of knowing. The thoughtfulness, dedication, and care he demonstrates in raising and training his own dog speaks volumes about his character and expertise. If his approach with his own pet is any indication, you would be hard-pressed to find someone more responsible, reliable, and compassionate to care for your beloved pet.
