Pet care experience

I love the fuzzy and scaly ones

I've grown up in a dog house since I was little, and have always loved taking care of animals. Growing up I took care of our dogs, cat, frog, and my never ending bug farms. I've been the go to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family especially in high school. I've taken care of dogs both big, small, and everything in between. I also am good with dogs of all ages and am currently raising my little five month old terrier son so the puppy routine is already drilled in! I've taken care of many elderly dogs with various medical conditions, although each one is unique. If you have a dog with special needs please reach out with details and I will let you know if I'm confident I can accommodate them! I'm always happy to work with a little high energy trouble maker as I had a husky mutt growing up who gave me a real run for my money. If you need someone to take your dog on a walk/run that will knock them out if even for a little bit I'm happy to provide that relief! Additionally I also spent 6 years in a herpetology club which involved taking care of turtles, tortoises, snakes, lizards, frogs, toads, salamanders, and even hissing cockroaches. If you need someone to check in and make sure both their space (heat lamps, food, water, filters, tanks, etc.) and themselves are taken care of I would be very happy to meet some scaly friends.

Dog Walking • May 25, 2026

Dale did a great job with Lewie! Lewie was happy to see him every day and was comfortable with him on their walks. We were at ease knowing Lewie was in good hands while we were away. We will look forward to having him walk Lewie in the future.

I can handle care for pups with special needs or simple medications. I work well with breeds of all sizes, and different energy levels. Let me know if your fur family has any quirks to keep an eye out for, I know mine likes to slide his food bowl around like a hockey puck for fun.
