Seasoned Shelter Dog Walker For You
Pet care experience
For over 5 years, I have walked, tended to, and loved on hundreds of dogs at LMAS. As a senior-level volunteer at Animal House, I've worked with many breeds and sizes -- even walking adoptable dogs in the Pegasus, Pride and St. Patrick's Day parades! I've also done some agility training. I've taken a number of classes at LMAS to learn more about training, body language and more. I am now available on Thursdays and Fridays to tend to a select number of canine clients. I will eventually add more available days. My goal is to start small and gradually expand to include more clients and services and geographic reach. I can walk, play with, help with medications or other special needs. I have excellent references.
Reviews
Barry has been a good friend for over 40 years, and there is no one we trust more to take care of our pets. We're the kind of people who treat their animals like children, and so we're extremely particular about who we entrust them to, and Barry is on that very short list. In addition, as we occasionally have dogs and cats with medical conditions, some of the care and feeding protocols can get quite complex, involving particular diets and medications to be administered. We always have complete confidence that Barry will handle everything perfectly. And the animals adore him. Just mentioning the name "Barry" instantly produces a flurry of wagging tails. And we know that he loves them right back. Of course, pet sitting is also house sitting, so it's important that the sitter is a responsible, sensible person who will take good care of our home, and know what to do if any emergencies arise. Again, I can't think of anybody I would trust more to care for our home than Barry. I would not hesitate to recommend Barry, and would be happy to chat with anyone who has any questions about our experience with him.
Barry is the true dog whisperer. My three dogs love Barry. Moby can here his car before he arrives and his tail starts wagging and literally gets a big smile on that beautiful mouth. Roxie the extremely hyper terrier mix is so good for Barry when they go for their walk. Rory my lazy very self-centered dog also enjoys her walk at a slower pace. Barry always arrives on time and they all get a good workout. I have also had him feed them on some occasions. He also has come to my house to let them out for me when I have a late evening g event.
