I work remotely and spend most of my days in my office in my two bedroom apartment. I live alone and typically only leave during weekdays for the gym, grocery shopping and farmers markets as part of my daily routine. I am active and love to go on jogs to the beach to balance out the time I spend in front of screens. On weekends I like to go to coffee shops, golf, and occasionally get out of the city for a nature adventure. Dog sitting fits well into my chill routine. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but unfortunately I chose a career in sales after college. For several years I was lucky to have a roommate with a fluffy doodle who I loved and often took care of whenever he wasn’t around, but he has moved out. The frequent travel has held me back from getting my own and dog sitting when I’m home is my solution to getting that dog love missing in my life.

I am happy to take care of all different types of dogs. If they are chill and just need love and attention, that works. If they need tons of walking and action, even better. I’ll be sending plenty of pics of your dog and me having a blast doing whatever it is you recommend they like to do. My apartment has hardwood floors, two balconies, is 1224 square feet, and plenty of large windows which dogs love to stare out of. I also have a giant dog bed my roommate left behind that I kept for pet sitting. There are doggie bags included right outside my apartment and the neighborhood (Dylan Point Loma) is very dog friendly. Convenient to take a walk at any time right from the apartment around Point Loma.

Information Cory M. would like to know about your pet

I live in an apartment with neighbors so the main restriction I have is keeping the noise to a reasonable level. Occasionally barking is expected and okay though.

A typical day

Walk, run, fetch, hike, tug of war, dog park... whatever you suggest to do with your dog that they enjoy I'm sure I'll enjoy too!

Cory M.'s Neighborhood

Remote working dog and doodle lover

Pet care experience

Growing up I had a chocolate lab and three doodles which formed my love for dogs. Dog sitting for neighbors was my very first job and have experience watching dogs for friends and family throughout my life. From high energy trouble makers to chill doodles I have plenty of experience and love for all types of dogs.

Cory is a total dog lover. He always had one growing up and knows his way around their care. He is responsible and conscientious about their care. I’ve used him before and will again.

Cory is clearly a natural animal lover. He joyfully greets our dog, and she reciprocates with a wagging tail. He is reliable and likes to make sure she gets enough exercise, making it fun for her. He is attentive to making sure water is full and food is given in timely manner exactly as requested. Definitely recommend Cory and will use him again!

Cory stayed at my house and watched my two dogs during a week long vacation. My puppy was very vocal and did her best to annoy my older dog, but Cory was patient and made sure to follow my instructions to keep both dogs safe and happy while I was away. Cory also ensured my house stayed in order (even with two high-energy pups) and kept me updated throughout my trip. I would recommend Cory!

Cory has taken care of my dog Stella Numerous times. Very responsible and caring for my dog. Makes it easy to leave my dog and not have to worry about her. Very responsible and protective of Stella. Will keep you up to date with what is going on and if anything is needed. Will continue to have Stella stay with him without a worry.
