Responsible,Compassionate,Attentive

Pet care experience

I'll start by saying that animals are my life. Literally. I've always had animals of my own and I I've been rescuing animals since childhood. I even have a big furry family of my own and specialize in seniors and special needs. I've actively been into animal rescue as an adult for 6 years, starting out driving for in state rescue transport. Sometimes fostering for overnights. In my last position, I was the supervisor for a small dog rescue and had been for almost 2.5 years. I managed a staff of 4-6, saw to the well being of up to 45 dogs which includes bathing, feeding (specialty diets as well) medicating (pills, liquids, injections, ointments, ear/eye meds) scheduling, transporting, tons of cleaning. You name it I do it. My experience does go beyond dogs to cats, fish and some small critters. On top of the professional skills I've listed, you will not find a more compassionate, caring, patient and responsible sitter for your furry family. I can also help with housekeeping. Thank you for considering me.

Damian was awesome with Mel! Very conscientious and attentive. She's a real dog-lover and I will definitely hire her again in the future!

Damian was excellent with my cat. She actually got her to come out and feel comfortable with a stranger. She sent me photos and the peace of mind that my pet was in good hands was priceless.

Not only is she a loving mother to her own eight pets, Damian has extensive experience working with dogs of all temperaments and of all ages. In her position as a rescue and sanctuary supervisor she cleans, feeds, administers medications, bathes, and plays with & loves dozens of dogs. Damian also teaches new employees how to care for dogs, she makes decisions about necessary veterinary care, and she supervisors a team of pet care providers. Damian is responsible and loving. I would happily trust my beloved doggies to Damian anytime!

Damian took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town. She truly has a gift when it comes to animals. She is kind, responsible, and well educated on the needs of the animals in her care. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a care giver to their furry family.

Information Damian D. would like to know about your pet

I always like to meet you and your furkids before to be sure it's the right fit for everyone. I like to know eating habits, medications and health issues, vet info and behavioral things. I prefer dogs under 40lbs as this is where I have the most experience. Breed makes no difference. A furkid is family no matter the breed.

A typical day

We can go for walks in the neighborhood or walks in the park. Games of fetch, tug of war or whatever it is that your furbaby enjoys we can do. I have to be honest in saying that I am not a big fan of dog parks. Although socialization is very important, not all pet owners are resposible which can lead to illness and/or fighting. My job is to be sure your furkid is SAFE, happy and healthy.
