My love is Unconditional to a fault

Pet care experience

Throughout my 51 years, I've embraced the role of a caregiver, whether tending to someone's beloved pet or nurturing my children into remarkable adults. People naturally connect with me, drawn by my attention to detail and my ability to quickly adapt to any task at hand. However, my true strength lies in my health and vitality. Sports have been a constant in my life, ranging from basketball to bowling to kickball. For the past couple of years, weather permitting, I've walked over 10 miles daily around DC. The gym is my second home—I'm there every day, either detoxing or getting in a good workout. In my family, I go by Chef Brooks, as my love for cooking is well-known. Choosing me means choosing dedication and commitment. You won't find any disappointment whatsoever. Thank you for considering me.

I was very disappointed with the care for the cats. When I returned, the AC was off in the bedroom, the litter box was full to overflowing, it smelled, the dry food and water had not been replenished. Considering it was high 90s-100 degrees all week I am grateful the cats survived. Diesel also seemed off, hungry, and it smelled like his urine in the living room. My neighbors said they did not see you all week, only once. This is very concerning and upsetting to me. It also did not appear someone was staying in the house as I had requested and as you had agreed upon verbally when we had the meet and greet.

Carl is amazing! He is very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and took excellent care of our fur baby Casper. He took her on plenty of walks and spent quality time with her. Carl’s the best!

Carl was great with my cat, Ace! Ace enjoys hiding but on his last day, he came out to greet Carl. Carl also brought masks and sanitizer to handle Ace. Thank you, Carl, for feeding and cleaning Ace’s litter!

Information Carl D. would like to know about your pet

Clients often provide a list of instructions, which I diligently follow. Alternatively, I can jot down the specifics. I'm comfortable with all dog breeds, except those with aggressive tendencies.

A typical day

I take dogs all around the city, tailoring activities based on time and the dog's preferences—whether it's running, playing, or activities aligned with the specific likes or dislikes the client specifies.
