Pet care experience
I wanna walk your doggies!!
Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by!! My name is Craig. On May 17th 2024, Crouton, my Soul Dog, crossed over the rainbow bridge. Devastated wouldn’t even begin to describe the feeling. Crouton was my baby, my best friend , my world , and my whole heart. Having her in my life was the best 17 years I could ask for. The transition after her death has been super tough for me, and I’ve found that interacting with and caring for other doggies little by little eases the pain of her passing. That’s where I hope you guys come in! I have so much love and attention to give to animals, yet I’m not ready to adopt another. I would love to meet your dog, walk your dog, play with your dog, snuggle with your dog, just do all the things with your dog !! I love all dogs, big, small, loud, quiet . I love that every dog’s personality is different, unique , and adorable . I was a single Dad the whole time I was lucky enough to have Crouton in my life, so I’m very well versed on puppies ( I got her at 3 months ), training, crate training , senior care , etc.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Craig is awesome! He is very communicative and my little Bailey seems to enjoy all of her walks with him. He also provides great feedback in the reports :) totally recommend him for all your dog walking needs!
Craig was fantastic with my cat! He told me he was normally a dog person, but my cat just fell in love with him, and I feel he truly earned the nickname of “Uncle Craig” :) Craig gave me great reports each day I was gone, and my mind was at ease. Two thumbs/paws up - highly recommend!
Very communicative and helpful! Our kitty loved his visits!
Amazing with Brodie, followed directions thoroughly, communicated everything with me. 10/10 would recommend, thank you!
Craig was an absolute GEM to have watch our babies. My dogs fell in love with him immediately, and he took such good care of them and our home. Will be rebooking for the future :)
Once again. Craig did an amazing job watching our girl Winfrey. He made sure she was walked, feed, and worn out each day! He was great for our visit in Phoenix and I will highly recommend him!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m a very hands on pet caretaker. If you were to choose me you can rest assured that I would have my eyes on your baby the whole time they’re in my custody . I have a fenced in large back yard for them to play in ( they would only be let outside if I’m outside with them supervising / playing, I would NEVER leave anyone’s animal unattended, alone, or unsupervised ). I highly encourage you as a pet owner to give me basic parameters and rules to follow regarding your doggie, and I will follow them to a T ( examples - heeling while walking, not letting them jump , crate training (if applicable - I prefer doggies snuggling next to me ) anything to not set your dogs training process back .
A typical day
I can follow the daily activities your dogs are used to / schedule they abide by. I love playing with dogs, giving them treats, taking them for walks , snuggles if they let me , my goal is to be as close to a placeholder for their human as I can be.
