Information Craig P. would like to know about your pet

What types of specific needs does this specific dog acquire that other dogs may not need. What different quirks or personality traits does your pup have that might be of concern to know in advance.

A typical day

I love to hike weather that is on my split board or just boot pack. I love to stay active. I really enjoy playing frisbee which works well when no other people want to play. I just enjoy spending time outdoors being active.

Experienced Animal Care

Pet care experience

I love animals but unfortantly live in a place where I am unable to have my own. I am flexible with my availability, because I work for myself. I am an energetic person and I love going on runs and seeing the sites. Your fur-ball would have a great time and get all of their energy out when booking with me. Animals need some time to get out of the house just like people, I would provide that type of service. I do not like being cooped up in a home, I like to see as much as I can by going far and wide. A skill that I posses is that I can pilot a single engine plane. I am also an avid runner.

Craig took great care of my boy Hank. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I would book again.

Craig got the dogs out and well exercised today. He navigated the walk through the neighborhood, during a time of day when there are other dogs on their afternoon walks—even one that was off leash. I’ll definitely be rebooking.

Craig was great! Our dog Clyde had a great time and we’ll absolutely use him again.

Craig is an Outstanding Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be happier with the care Craig provided for our 9-year-old Border Collie while we were away over the Christmas break. Our dog loves going to the park, catching balls, and running, and Craig made sure she got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear when we returned that he was happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Craig’s communication throughout our trip was excellent—he kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us peace of mind knowing our furry family member was in great hands. Craig’s love for the outdoors and active lifestyle, including his hobbies like skiing and river rafting, really resonated with our high-energy dog. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive dog sitter, we highly recommend Craig. He went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be asking him to help again in the future!
