If your dog is very aggressive or has difficulty getting along with bigger dogs then he may clash with my dog so please be up front if your dog is prone to conflict.

I take my dog on two walks a day and we love hiking at the Douglas Preserve or Hendrys Beach. We love hiking and the outdoors.

Pet care experience

My first friend and best friend was a sweet as pie cockapoo named Pinky. I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently share my life with a beautiful, sweet, and athletic pitbull mix named Jackie. Jackie loves to make new friends and since I have a fenced in yard my home is perfect for playdates! Hoping to meet and care for some great animals here.

Damian was wonderful. He is professional and kind. He quickly got to know our dogs and treated them well. We highly recommend him.

Damian was great with Bonkers! He brought him out to run which was exactly what I wanted. Will definitely be setting up future play dates!
