Pet care experience

I 💜 DILPs (dogs I'd like to pet)

I'm just a big puppy who loves to make other doggos smile. I was raised by a standard poodle, and ever since I've been walking & fostering & adopting dogs of all shapes and sizes (mostly rescues in New Orleans). My last apartment was discounted since I took care of the landlord's dog whenever he was out of town (once a month or so). I have plenty of experience with puppies, elders, traumatized dogs, aggressive dogs, shy/anxious dogs, and other furbabies with special needs. I have no issues with special equipment, doing complicated meal prep, or giving medication (even needles, the pill-in-the-throat method, etc). Happy to do walks around the block or a big day out in the park. I work from home (often from the couch) and I'd love to give them scritches & belly rubs & sweet affirmations throughout the day. Happy to share a bed at night too! Whatever I can do to make them smile :-)

Bob is a gem! Took really sweet care of our two dogs for ten days and gave lots of sweet updates along the way, making it easy to feel at ease. Very communicative and reliable - would definitely recommend!

Bob took excellent care of Mochi and of the home. He was super communicative and flexible, and I always felt in the loop. He was very patient with my sweet, but initially reactive, boy. I also got plenty of cute pictures. I'll definitely be working with Bob again!

Our two puppers love Bob and we’re happy any time it works out to have him stay with the pups!

My dog loved spending the weekend with Bob! She took to him right away, and seemed happy and relaxed in her photos. Bob was super communicative and asked lots of questions to ensure Mocha would have a pleasant stay. Would definitely hire Bob in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm an extremely respectful houseguest. I'm a big traveler around the US, and have dogsat / housesat too many times to count. I try my hardest to leave things how I found them, and will definitely send plenty of photos of the furbabies no matter what.

A typical day

I love to check out nearby city walks, nature hikes, dog parks, dog cafes, etc... I wanna try 'em all! And when we're back inside, I love chilling with them on the couch (if they're allowed) so I can give plenty of belly-rubs and butt-scratches. Of course, tug-of-war will be played with the toy of choice.

Questions about your pet: Where are they on the energy scale? From "let's hang out ALL the time" to "leave me aloooone". How are they with other people they might see on the street? Other dogs? (leashed and unleashed). Do they like dog parks? And most importantly: are they ready to have a good time?
