Safety, trust & environment

I have been caring for my neighbor's pets for many years including both cats and dogs. I've also babysat dogs in our home for several years. We have a large fenced yard and well as a dog door and dog run. Our home is a block away from Minnehaha Creek and a short 6 block walk to Lake Harriet.

Information Calvin P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special dietary or medical needs. The more information you can provide, the better I can care for them while you are away.

A typical day

Walks in the neighborhood so they can check out all the glorious smells on their walks. If the weather permits, we can play fetch in the yard.

Pets

I like big mutts and cannot lie!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs my entire life. My first chore was feeding our family pets at the young age of 3. I continue to love and nurture our two labs any chance I get including daily walks, play time in the yard and snuggles on my bed. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors! Medication and special needs are no problem for me.

Calvin did a great job staying with our dog while we were gone over the weekend. He communicated well, followed the instructions for Rex’s routine and meds and overall was super easy to work with. We highly recommend Calvin and will use him again if we need a dog and house sitter.

Calvin showed up for all his appointments and is obviously very good with dogs. We would happily have him back.
