Fun-Loving Pet Caregiver!

Pet care experience

- Self Profile - Over the years I’ve owned multiple dogs of varying sizes and taken care of hundreds of dogs (and cats)! I have a special way of taking care of animals that gets past the stranger phase in a fast efficient way! Your pet and I will become best friends, I live near a dog park where I can take them to meet and play with new friends! My cats are very friendly and will get along with your little (or big) buddy. I will make a difference in your pet’s life, sending them to me will be a little (or big) doggy vacation! - About me - Originally from Manhattan, I grew up in a small town in New Jersey. I currently live in an apartment with my wife and we have two cats. Both of them are rescues and have their up to date vaccinations. They are friendly and love other animals! I was also raised around many dogs such as Labrador Retrievers and Cockerpoos! - My Location - I live in a town, less than 4 blocks away from my apartment are two dog parks and a 15-minute walk to a nearby reserve that contains a public lake and many walking trails and large grass fields. The neighbors in my apartment building also have pets of their own such as cats and dogs and it is a very pet-friendly environment! - Accommodations - I am able to care for elderly and disabled dogs and cats, or pets that take regular medication. I am also flexible with time and scheudling please don't hesitate to reach out and we can talk! I usually respond within 5 minutes. I genuinely love dogs of any size. I’m very energetic and willing to play with them for any amount of time! Cats are welcome too, I have taken in two cats and they are very sweet and well behaved! - Other Qualifications - I am able to provide CPR for both dogs and cats in case of an emergency. I also have the experience to take care of other animal species such as birds, hamsters, rabbits, fish, turtles and more! Thank you for your time!

Calvin has looked after my cats several times now, and he's done an outstanding job each time. I really appreciate his help when I've had to travel and leave my two cats at home. I trust him completely to take excellent care of my kitties. Thank you so much, Calvin!

I cannot express how grateful I am to have found such a fantastic dog walker for my fur babies, Chako and Koko. These two can be a handful, especially when it comes to strangers, but Calvin handled the situation with patience and expertise, the dogs warmed up with him quickly. Will definitely rebook again!

Information Calvin R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their personality since all cats and dogs have different personalities. I also do not have a breed preference. Additionally, I would like to know if they have specific feeding times? How often are potty breaks? If they take medication, how often?

A typical day

I love going outside and being around nature. We'll visit nice parks together, I can bring balls to play catch, play with frisbees, and run around together. If your pup doesn't like to be too active, that's okay too! We can visit the lake together and promenade on the walking trails.
