Dog Dad Looking for Walking Friends
Pet care experience
My love for animals started in the neighborhood where I grew up. I had 4 dogs throughout my childhood, and there were plenty more to befriend next door and across the street. I started watching dogs for neighbors who went on trips, and have picked up the practice again for friends here in Denver. When I went away for school I missed my dogs at home so much at school that I adopted my own dog, Madison, a couple of years into my degree. Madison was with me for 10 amazing years, she gave me so many lessons in dog ownership during that time. We moved together to Denver, where she passed in the spring of 2022. Madison had a lot of energy, when I couldn’t be with her all day I had to rely on family and friends to help her get the exercise that she needed. There was such a difference in her mood and behavior when exercised versus when she was pent up all day. I was taking some time off from my corporate job when Madison passed, and I decided to extend my time home in order to train a brother/sister pair of bulldog puppies my wife and I agreed to adopt. We've explored a lot of the local parks and trails on walks together. The experience of raising them has been so rewarding that I have decided to offer my services to other dog owners as a walker/sitter now that the puppies are a bit older. My goal is to provide a consistent and trustworthy resource for pet owners in the Denver area. I have experience with administering prescribed medical treatments and general hygiene for dogs. I have transportation that can be used for animals, and a flexible schedule to begin pet care on Rover in January, 2023.

Cam knocks it out of the park with our three pups with completely different energy levels and personalities at the same time!

Safety, trust & environment
We practice positive reinforcement in our home with treats, and praise as incentive. Our dogs do training on commands "Sit, Down, Stay, Shake, etc." for 15 minutes prior to every meal with their kibble, which we then mix with some toppers. We also practice a daily and weekly schedule for hygiene including face wipes, ear solution, eye drops and teeth brushing. All of these services are offered to well behaved dogs, bonus if food motivated.
Information Cam C. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to know that the dog is friendly with a stranger entering the home and administering any services requested by the owner. If the dog is an excessive "puller" or reactive to other dogs I should be informed. A meet and greet can be scheduled with my dogs if you feel that your dog would benefit from play dates.
A typical day
I've enjoyed getting out for walks at many different parks across Denver and its surrounding areas. Personal favorites for my dogs and I are City Park, Cheeseman, and Sloan's Lake, along with many other smaller neighborhood parks like the one behind our home. I also love throwing frisbees or a ball for dogs to chase, and have done some more ambitious hikes in Golden with my pups that would tire out most. Dog interaction can be a key to satisfying your dog's energy needs. My dogs are still puppies, but well socialized, and love interacting with other dogs. Similarly minded dogs can be scheduled for walks/play dates with one or both dogs after a meet and greet to ensure a good match.

Availability
Over the past 7 months I have been raising 2 puppies on a daily schedule of exercise, training, and play. We're early risers, so are usually up and fed by 7 a.m., out the door for a walk by 7:30. Once exercised my dogs are able to settle in for a nap, or be watched by my wife while I head out to care for other animals via rover. I would be able to offer check-ins and in home care around my schedule at home, as my wife does occasionally travel for work.
