Pet care experience
Hi Everyone. When contacting me, please start at 9:00am, since I'm awake by then, and Please Note that I will not start any services without meeting the pet and owner through a meet & greet first. Knowing we will get along is important. I was a vet tech for a vaccination clinic for four years. I learned basic first aid, body language, and how to create a positive environment for pets and owners. I have always had a dog or dogs and a cat in my life to take care of. I already go hiking and walking daily. I have managerial experience and customer service experience. I do my best to always be polite and respectful of all animals, people, and life. I do have limitations that I set but I'm flexible enough that I can work with clients to make a compromise, and do my best to. I'm cautious when entering homes to make sure no animals escape and am always focused on locking doors behind me. I won't force any animals to walk with me or do anything they don't want to. I have no problem with administering medication, feedings, and providing water.
Reviews
Damon was very sweet with Samson!
Damon is an excellent communicator and has done well with my blind guy! He is reliable with scheduled walks and has been great to work with.
We have been extremely happy with Damon, as has our Jack Russel Laika. Damon is a very good communicator and we would recommend him very highly.
Damon's great with my dog Shadow who can be a little difficult. He's friendly and reliable!
About Damon W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For drop in visits I offer play time, feedings and medication giving, changing water, and a little training for treats. For House sitting I can offer walks 2-3 times a day, and spend most of the day at your home caring for your pet to give them the sense of company. If I have a busy day I can do drop in visits often so they aren't lonely and offer more play time.
Information Damon W. would like to know about your pet
Any health and/or temperament issues. Whether your pet needs to be fed and/or given medication. I often care for senior dogs and since they tend to have more physical issues, I would just need to know what they are to better care for them. If you think it knowledge I should know about your pet then feel free to share it with me. I don't have a breed preference since I realize every animal has a different personality and though some breeds may have consistent traits, I won't limit my thinking or my business. I welcome all breeds and sizes, we just have to all get along.
A typical day
I prefer dog walks in parks with plenty of grass and room to run around. I generally just go for the closest park in the area I'm currently in. And if I'm walking with a dog that doesn't get along with others, then we can stick to small parks and sidewalks. While taking care of your pet I give them my full attention and do not use my phone unless taking fun pictures or sending a text to begin or end our experience. I do my best to avoid letting your pet eat any food off the ground, especially around trash cans. I bring my own poop bags so there is never any chance of waste left behind. And while on walks I let your pet lead the way and stop to sniff whenever they want so it's more so about them instead of me.
