Information Art M. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

Walks will be in my well established HOA neighborhood. It is fairly quiet and great for walking around. There's tons of trees, bushes, grass and flowers for them to sniff and do their business on. One block from my house is a nice park that Dex and I frequent often. Large open grassy area, away from busy streets. Access to Levee. Very short 5 minute ride to nearby dog park. (If okay with owner) I take my responsibility for your dog very seriously, so I don't take them off leash. unless at dog park or at home. Loves and kisses! Toys and treats!

Pet care experience

Update: 7/7/23 I have now been a dog sitter for 9 years with the last 7 years being full time. I feel like I acquired so much knowledge and experience in working with dogs on a daily basis. I now know what works and doesn't work. My house is setup to be the most efficient in handling multiple pups at once. I offer supplies as well. (Treats, Leashes, Stainless steel bowls, Beds, Blankets, Toys, Crates if your dog is crate trained) I like to make it as easy as possible for you. it just means less things you have to worry about. Drop offs/Pick ups are quick and easy to coordinate! I truly love what I do and enjoy every day that I'm able too. I treat every pup as if they were my own. I'm confident that your fur babies are in good hands. Thank you so much for considering me :) (Original post) My true experience starts with my little boy Dexter. I adopted him at 4 months old, knowing he just had his eye removed. He also had demodectic mange. ( experience oral/applied medication early on) He passed his dog therapy program with flying colors! We spent the first two years of his life walking the halls of retirement homes, assisted living and rehab centers. Bringing smiles to people's faces! I spent 6 months helping care for my sister's senior/disabled pug doing rehab work to get her walking short distance without her wheelchair. I've dog sat several family and friends furry little babies as well.

Our big boy Bochy LOVES his Uncle Art & what we call summer camp.😎😉 Honestly, we have used other sitters but no one gives us piece of mind like leaving our now senior guy with severe hip dysplasia with Art. We can leave him & totally enjoy our long vacation of the year with no concerns or worries. We have been using Art for years with the exception of scheduling conflicts. Art sends pics and videos of our guy having great fun with his new friends and always with cute/funny captions. It truly adds enjoyment to our trip. Funny thing is that I have never met Art face to face. I can't drop my baby boy off🥹 so I send the hubs. Yet after all these years & through txt communication I feel like I know him, his sense of humor, integrity & good character. We don't put our name on just anybody so when we say we recommend Art we mean it! Book him you won't be sorry!! Again, THANK YOU Art!!

Art is the best!! Our boys always enjoyed vacationing at his house. They were always so excited and happy whenever he picked them up. Art is easy to communicate and sends us the pictures regularly during their stay. His pick up and drop off service is also very convenient. It’s been 4-5 years that we have been rebooking Art every time our whole family goes on vacation. Thank you for keeping our boys happy and safe, Art!

What can I say? Art is the BEST! We’ve been using Art for many years when our schedules line up. He’s ALWAYS our first choice. Our fur boy is in senior status & we very recently found he has a disability related to aging. Because it’s so fresh to us I’m not certain we would have fully enjoyed ourself if we had left him with anyone else. Art’s experience & reputation is hard to match. Just read his reviews! We always enjoy the pictures or videos sent along with a subtitle from Art. If you want someone that knows & loves what he does…Art is da man! Thank you Art… Jim, Debi & Bochy
