Pet care experience

Dogs are my favorite people!

When I was living in the Midwest, I primarily used Wag! to facilitate my walking, sitting and boarding of pups. During my time doing so, I accumulated 142 Five-Star ratings, badges such as “Above and Beyond”, “Great Distance”, “Extra Care” and “Excellent Report Card” and of course developed a great rapport with owners and pups alike! In my time, I sat around two dozen pups, boarded a few more than that and walked well over 150 pup(s)- a few times I had three on board with me! 10 pet parents added me as their preferred caregiver and I look to improve on that number here. If you message me after 9pm or so, I may not respond until the next morning as we are an early to bed, early to rise family. Finally, I am absolutely available for house sittings (in your home) so long as there are no cats present as I am terribly allergic.

Austin, as always, took excellent care of Gwen! He was considerate of the time difference while I was overseas, and still sent me pictures of my dog every day and what they were up to. I know that Gwen is always in amazing hands when Austin is looking after her!

Amazing care for Tango, especially when he is afraid of loud sounds (fireworks) but Austin always ensure that Tango is safe and cared for.

Pets

A typical day

Depending on the dog(s) I tend to start the day pretty early with a nice mile or mile and a half walk. We live nearby a park and there’s lots of open area and trails to explore as well. We also have a lot of out outside space that is secured where dogs can play as long as they like.
