Pet care experience

Remote working dog and doodle lover

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 nuts to chill doodles I have plenty of experience and love for all types of dogs. Currently accepting bookings for hypoallergenic/low shedding dogs only.

Had an amazing experience with Cory for my dog Stella. It was over the July 4th long weekend and Cory went above and beyond to comfort Stella from all the fireworks. Also kept me posted with videos and pics. Stella was very happy during her stay with Cory. Highly recommend Cory for your babies.

Cory watched my dog for a long weekend, and it was clear my dog was really well looked after. I got videos of him running around the beach, playing tug-of-war, and just having the best time. It honestly looked like he had his own little vacation. I felt great knowing he was happy and in good hands.

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.

Schedule

I work remotely and spend most of my time during the week in my office in my two bedroom apartment. I live alone and typically only leave during weekdays for the gym, the driving range, grocery shopping / farmers markets as part of my daily routine. I am active and love to go on jogs / walks to the beach to balance out the time I spend in front of screens. On weekends I like to go to coffee shops, golf (9 holes max if dog sitting), and get out in nature. Dog sitting fits well into my chill routine. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but I chose a career in sales. 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.

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to take care of many different types of dogs. If they are chill and just need love and attention or they need lots of walking and action, either is good for me. Happy to send 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 (grey one in photo). 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.

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!

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.
