Safety, trust & environment

My personal pets and clients pets receive only the finest of expert pet care. Roush, My Jack Russell Terrier is pampered and spoiled on a regular basis receiving regular grooming, lots of treats, love, play sessions, walks, and the best possible dietary recommendations provided by expert veterinarians. I pride myself on building a relationship of trust, kindness, and gentle discipline with all animals. This solidifies a mutual respect and long lasting and loving relationship. Positive reinforcement, diversion tactics, and verbal communication go a long way with my well regarded pet-care methods! This expert level of care is identical to what my clients expect while caring for their furry family members.

Information Craig M. would like to know about your pet

If your pet requires more specialized care, please let me know well in advance as I do my best to accommodate these requests. I understand that no two animals are the same and may present a different set of challenges. Each animal is unique and special in its own way and may require tailored care specific to a pets’ needs. I take pride in being agile and adaptive to all pet care needs.

A typical day

There are so many ways to have fun with pets! I am consistent in ensuring the pets needs and preferences come first. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their own routine and space. This being said, I like to discuss a detailed agenda ahead of time with clients. This include topics such as: a walking route that a pet is familiar and acclimated with, favorite toys the pet may have for playtime, feeding times, medication administration if necessary, special requirements such as crating or diapers, or any other part of a pets routine that makes them feel right at home. This is completely customizable to a clients preferences. I am willing and able to do any necessity to ensure all pet needs are fulfilled.

All animals loved equally/genuinely

Pet care experience

I have owned, trained, and cared for many loving animals throughout my life. My life revolves around a passionate cultivation of providing a loving, warm, comfortable, and caring atmosphere for both my own pets and clients pets. PETS ARE FAMILY! The animals I have experience with include: small and large dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, aquariums, hamsters, and rabbits. My undergraduate studies are in biochemistry with several courses consisting of ethology (animal behavior), animal physiology, and small animal nutrition. My graduate school studies are in pharmacology, so I am an expert at injections and medication administration. I am always willing to take on pets that prove to be challenging both young and elderly. My love for ALL animals is far-reaching and genuine no matter the size or species.

Craig is awesome! He had really great communication and is so flexible. Our high energy dogs can be tough for some folks, but he genuinely enjoyed spending time with them and our babies clearly enjoyed his walks, pets, and love. Will definitely be requesting Craig again for any future walking needs. Highly recommend!!
