Professional Puppy Pal

Native Texan here who recently transitioned to Galveston. I like long walks on the beach (with my pup, of course) and occasional visits to the dog park with treats... lots of treats 😋 I know the stress of leaving your furry friend with strangers. I have a very long experience handling pets from cats and dogs to horses and iguanas. I often work from home in the non-profit sector here on Galveston Island, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and able to host or do drop-ins very easily. I have a pup myself who’s traveled around world with me (he’s been to three countries so far!) and yet he is my world. I’d love to assist you in meeting your pet’s needs. If you have any questions at all, just send me a message!

Chad has been absolutely marvelous with my high-energy pup. Two weeks flew by and puppy is getting the exercise he needs. TEN STARS ⭐️!

My pup played with Chad's doggy so much I felt bad picking him up! I got constant updates and super cute videos of them playing. I'll be looking for more reasons to have Chad pup sit again! Thanks!

Chad and Emerson were awesome. They made my pups feel right at home and part of the family on day one. I got plenty of videos that showed me what a great time they were having, and it's obvious that he took excellent care of my fur babies. I was able to enjoy my vacation to it's fullest knowing my pups were in great hands. I will definitely use him again!

My pup Luna had a wonderful time with Chad and his pup, Emerson, for several days. I received photos and videos during the visit. Just picked her up and she is happy and tired. 🙂
