I have an inherent love for animals
Pet care experience
Dogs bring people together. I know how fantastic it is to meet people that love dogs as much as you do. It's really great to share that with other people. And all different kinds of people love dogs and need their own pups to get some lovin' while they're at work, or on vacation. This job gives me the opportunity to meets all kinds of people, knowing right off that bat that we have something in common. I'm friends with all the pet parents I've worked with. We still keep in contact and have great conversations (often about the funny and adorable things their dogs do). Duties: Maintained a healthy and loving relationship with the animals and their owners Bathed and groomed pets and ensured that they remain clean at all times. Took dogs out for walks on predetermined routes, ensuring their safety and well-being all through. Properly cleaned kennels and disposed of waste. Checked pets for signs of disease or distress, and communicated concerns to pet owners. Took care of wounded pets, ensuring that their medication was administered on time.
Reviews
I can't recommend Chad enough. Two days before a long trip, our scheduled sitter cancelled - Chad responded right away and was diligent about coordinating to set things up before we left. He was able to housesit and watch our cat Vasya for two weeks. He was responsive with communication and left the condo very clean. Our cat's a bit cranky, but through the videos sent we could she was warming to him in a way that's very rare for strangers. We're very happy and would very much reach out to him again.
Chad was great with both of our highly needy dogs. It’s very apparent he has experience working with animals and knows how to handle specific needs and situations. We would definitely have Chad come watch our pups again!
Did an amazing job with my mastiff. Super friendly and you can tell he loves pets. I would recommend to anyone needing someone. Will be using him again.
Chad was great, great communication and took care of my pup. Definitely someone I can trust for future walks.

I don't discriminate against any breeds. I welcome all animals, big or small! :) Just ask that owners are honest about their pet's personality and medical needs.
A typical day
Each dog is unique and special. They offer a whole spectrum of personalities! The activities I do differ with each pet, but include (but not limited to) visits to the dog park, walks, hikes, cuddling, trick training, playing fetch (frisbees, balls, etc.), tug-of-war, and much more!
