23 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

What I find works best is to meet with the dog and owner before hand to find out what kind of routine works best for them, what toys they like to play with, favorite treats ect. It’s all about making the owner feel comfortable and to make sure their pet is comfortable as well!

Information Craig S. would like to know about your pet

Some important things that would be great to know beforehand is what their schedule is like. For example when do they eat, go out to go to the bathroom, do they need any medicine, and how long of walks they like.

A typical day

Some actives I can do with dogs are take them on walks, play fetch with them, run around a yard with them when they get the zoomies and play with their toys with them.

Pet care experience

Growing up my family always had a dog. Over the years we have had a total of three. I am lucky to be a dog dad myself now of my beautiful rescue Lola. Having her as a few month old puppy, my fiancée and I were able to train her so I do have experience and patience with puppies, along with older dogs as well.

I’ve had the pleasure of caring for Craig’s dog, Lola, and can confidently say he is an exceptional pet owner. Craig is incredibly patient, kind, and compassionate towards animals, and it’s clear that he truly loves and understands his pet. His communication skills are excellent—he is always timely, thorough, and clear in his instructions. Working with Craig has been a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a dedicated and caring pet sitter!

Craig is excellent with dogs. He has taken care of our German Shorthaired Pointed, who is young and VERY rambunctious. He has also taken care of our previous dog, a Weimaraner, which was also a challenge as she was very old and not very mobile. He is responsible, communicative, and trustworthy. Our dogs are like our children and he treats them like he would treat his own - with love, care, and respect. I've referred Craig to my friends with other dogs and even cats, people absolutely love him! I recommend reaching out to Craig, your pets will always be in good hands with him!
