Have Treats Will Travel, 4 any dog!

Pet care experience

Have Treats Will Travel!! 20 years of dog ownership, training sessions, hands on experience and love of dogs is why I am good at this and enjoy it as well. They all have their own personalities and I treat them as individuals. For example I would adjust the pace of the walk or training to suit the dog size, age and breed. I have owned or worked with most of them. From Great Dane to Mexican Chihuahua, German Shepherd to Afghan Hound, French Poodle to Japanese Akita, it doesn’t matter where they are from, what language they speak, or what color they are! Black, white and all colors of the rainbow in between, are all loved here! While with them, I encourage good dog behavior and reward them frequently. I want to be your dog’s Second Best friend. Thank you for giving me the chance to show you and your love one(s) the superior quality of care I can provide!

Bruce is an experienced dog sitter. He knows how to handle my pups very well. Since one of my dogs is very timid, he came early to have time to meet the dogs while im home with them.

Thank you so much Bruce, for taking such a good care of Rex. Our Rex is senior dog and sometimes can't stand up by himself. Bruce handle it well. He sent me a video of every walk. When we came back home Rex was in a very good mood and a house was clean. I was very please with a service provided by Bruce and we will definitely contact him again in a future.

We were very blessed to find Bruce through the rover.com app. I was able to filter my search for special needs senior dog (in a wheelchair with medications) for an individual boarding for the week including the Thanksgiving Holiday. I had a tall order, but rover.com and Bruce EXCEEDED my HIGH EXPECTATIONS! He took fabulous care of our dogson, Shelby, too! We drove our dog 75 miles one way to have Bruce watch him and I'm so pleased that we did! Shelby was well groomed (Shetland Sheepdog), well fed and cared for. Shelby was always smiling in photos and bonded with Bruce right away. I really appreciated the pictures and text updates which allowed me to relax and enjoy my visit with our son. Knowing the excellent level of care he delivered for this week's visit, I don't hesitate to recommend Bruce or using the rover.com app to help you with your special one's care! We will definitely use Bruce again in June to board Shelby for our son's college graduation (another out of state trip). Bruce also does a lot of other care levels if you live in South Orange County :-) Thank you for everything!

Dogs age, likes and dislikes, what scares him/her? medical condition, medication, emotional and anxiety issues, interaction with other dogs, children and adults. what treats they like and any other relevant information the owner would like to share

A typical day

I usually try to find a walking trail, park or open space and depending on the dog walk briskly or jog slowly to give them the maximum exercise benefits. I try to make them heel and sit and give them rewards and affection. I also let them relax to take a rest if tired and massage them.
