Pet care experience

Your dog needs a damn walk!

I was the father to a Labradoodle for 16 1/2 years. I trained her from puppy to old girl and managed her geriatric care in the end. I love walking dogs and letting them take in their environment. I believe in walking one dog at a time and making an emotional loving connection. Plus, I can only handle so many poop bags.

Cary and Dawn were great! Very communicative and willing to work with my pup's peculiarities. I received pictures and videos as well as updates every day! My pup can be very anxious but he obviously loved his time with them.

Cary and Dawn took great care of my dog while I was away. My dog is shy but warmed up to them quickly. She came back happy and relaxed. I am happy to have found Cary and Dawn. Looking forward to working with them again!

Cary and Dawn took great care of Penny! He's not joking when he said he likes to takes dogs out on long walks - they did a lot of walking. They sent many great pictures of their adventures which I appreciated

Our dog Raine is always so happy to see Cary and Dawn! He is even comfortable enough to beg them for snacks constantly. He is clearly well treated when he’s under their care. They are also great about updating us on his status and giving us pictures so we can visualize how he’s doing while we’re gone. Absolutely would book again for future endeavors!

Schedule

I am currently working part time so I can spend a good hunk of my week taking care of your pet. I will board pets if they are kind and well-trained in the potty department. I currently have no pets myself so no need to worry if your dog or cat would get along with another.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will take plenty of walks if they are being boarded with me. If your dog needs lots of energy expulsion, my wife likes to run and would be more than willing to take them. I am a huge fan of coming over and cleaning cat litter, getting dinners, ready, and snuggling with the pooch or the kitty. I like naps too!

A typical day

Atypical day starts with a long walk for 20 minutes. Depending on the day they will get additional one to two walks or if they need more, my wife will run them on the trails.

I need to know if they are leash reactive. If they like to sneak food off of counters. Drink toilet water. How they like to sleep? And any other quirky things I should be aware of.
