Availability

I currently work fully remote from home and have a generally flexible schedule to allow breaks for walks or visits. I'm generally up by 6:30 am each day, but have no issues getting up earlier depending on your pet's schedule. From my house I typically walk the neighborhoods near Greenacre or head over to Bliss park. I can also make late stops up to ~ 11 pm as I know sometimes that overnight without a break can be too much for your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large double yard with the majority being fenced/blocked but there are several open areas near the driveway and side of the house. There is a two-story house with wood floors. Depending on your pet's preferences and schedule I would keep them with me in my room. I have a 40 lb mixed rescue dog who is very sweet and timid. Depending on preference we would keep them completely separate but she will likely check them out and then hide under a bed most of the time anyway ;) She has never shown any aggression or had any issues with other dogs.

Information Collin B. would like to know about your pet

Any triggers that will frighten or make them aggressive. The best times to feed them or give them space. How to tell if your dog is overwhelmed and we should give them some privacy or a safe blanked under a bed to hide away.

A typical day

Most dogs can tell that I'm down to play, even if they are with their owners they'll try to get my attention. I like to figure out what they like if its fetching, chase, hiding, or tug of war. If they are staying with me - up early for bathroom break/walk. Then stick to your normal feedings schedule. I like to take lots of breaks myself and will take my guest on frequent small walks or run around our yard.

Pet care experience

Hello, I've trained several dogs from puppies in basic skills and know the best way to connect with most dogs is through play. I have experience with some medical care for temporary conditions and dogs with anxious dispositions. I'm a big guy so I'm not intimidated by larger dogs and will get down on the floor so smaller dogs aren't nervous.
