DOGS BEST FRIEND

Pet care experience

I love dogs and working with dogs. I am an experienced dog sitter/ trainer. My mother has fostered dogs since I was born 30+ years ago. I have cared for just about every dog there is. I took canine science class in High school and learned how to properly care/groom/train/canine CPR. I'm also human CPR certified just in case you get heart broken leaving your pet. I have experience in caring for dogs with medical conditions (giving treatment etc.) Nothing makes me happier than making a new fury friend. I understand that most peoples animals are not pets but family. Extended About me: I'm a Cancer. I was born in Florida and moved to Texas in 2000 to go to an electrical trade school. I was a commercial electrician, these days im battling for disability. I like to tinker with inventions, teach myself new skills (im a bit of a collector of them. #ADHD.) Why I love dog sitting I've loved animals my whole life. Growing up I've had many best friends come and go. My mother was a dog sitter.

Byron is an absolute gem. He took phenomenal care of our newfie and goldendoodle. He was also extremely helpful with a number of unexpected “surprises” (not all dog related) that occurred while we were gone. Overall, Byron’s care, effort and communication was above and beyond our expectations. You’d be crazy not to book him.

Safety, trust & environment

About my yard dogs will stay inside with us. there's is no backyard that they will get left in therefore zero possibility of an unnoticed escape. I use to have a fenced back yard with a ton of space but Due to my disability and a house stealing con artist, I lost that house and was forced to move to Missouri. I would like to get an awesome set up again someday but in the meantime all potty breaks are on a leash as much as they need. I'm right next door to the dog park with a hiking trail. Hanely park if you'd like to google it.

Information Byron S. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs but if I had to choose favorites they would be: Shar-pei and French/English Bulldog I prefer dogs that are fixed, obedient and get along with other dogs just in case I have more than one client at a time. However, I have plenty of room to separate them and enough experience to handle them.

A typical day

Some well behaved dogs will get to hang there heads out the window and go to home depot or Lowes with me and possibly some dog parks maybe out to the lake sometimes To the feed store to pick out a bone. Walks around the neighborhood if they get bored. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Bring a crate if you wish. Dogs are more comfortable In something they normally sleep with or on. If you don't have anything to bring he/she may sleep were ever they wish. I have crates for dogs that need training. Time I'll spend with your dog Probably most of the day if you count sitting around napping. :) but I'd imagine they would at least get a couple walks and some chasing everyday. I can also help with training for fetch and other basic commands if that's something you desire.
