Previous vet tech, love to run

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Christian! I’m a medical student at the University of Iowa and recently moved to the area from New Mexico. Back home I’m a dad to two playful Akitas and a plethora of other farm animals who instilled in me a love for furry friends at a young age, and here in Iowa I live with a cute Cane Corso mix and two furry kitties. I previously worked as a Vet Tech at an animal hospital for about two years and gained a ton of experiences with animals of all ages, breeds, conditions and demeanors. I’m very active and well versed in interacting with dogs and cats alike, and will even take your dog on runs with me if you’d like!

Information Christian D. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog people-aggressive? Dog-aggressive? Do they have any special conditions I should be aware of? Are there rules of the house they’re expected to follow? What is their diet like? What is their activity level? Do they have any medical conditions or medications?

A typical day

Walks, runs, play time, belly-rub sessions, and all the cuddles a dog could ask for. When time allows, I love to bake home made (and animal-friendly) treats for special occasions. As a transplant in Iowa, I particularly love exploring the city and local neighborhoods through runs and walks.

Availability

I’m currently going to school full time but have a fairly flexible schedule due to the nature of online and hybrid classes. During week days, I’m available for walks, runs, daily care and periodic check-ins with your animals. During the weekend I have more availability and can work with you to accommodate your needs.
