Headlines are fun, I guess...

Pet care experience

I get genuinely excited when someone's pet remembers me. I love animals, but my work doesn't always allow me the time or the space that would allow me to care for an animal companion full time, so I watch friends and families pets when they ask. I have experience with large and small dogs, cats of varying personalities, and having a mixture of the two in the home at the same time. High energy, low energy. I meet pets where they are at.

Darien has provided years of care for our doggos and has always gone above and beyond as far as communication and taking care of our house & hounds.

Darien has cared for our dog, Marty, while our family has been on vacation on several occasions. He is reliable, responsible and trustworthy. He has stayed at our home sometimes and other times he has had the ability to take Marty to his home. Marty is always happy and well cared for. I am never worried when I leave Marty in Darien's care. Once you trust Darien with your pet, you will have a hard time leaving your pet with anyone else. Book Darien well in advance, he will soon be unavailable (believe me!!!)

Skills

8 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I'd do my best to let the pet approach me, and use command words/tactics to get them to become comfortable with my presence. If they are going to be in my home (which may be rare), I will do my best to accommodate their stay.

Information Darien W. would like to know about your pet

Their temperament with humans and other animals. Medical, dietary needs, and any bad habits that I should be aware of and how best to curb them.

A typical day

Well depending on the dog and the instructions left by the owner, we'd start with the morning routine and meal, followed by a walk around the neighborhood and local park they frequent. From there we'd head back to their home, and any left over energy we'd get out of them before starting our days. I work out of a laptop, so I'm able to do what I do from anywhere with an internet source.

Availability

Trying to get back into it for some flexible additional income. I'm new-ish to Brooklyn, and have been focusing on getting settled and adjusting to working remotely for my day job. With that being said, since I don't need to work out of an office and can work from anywhere with an internet signal, a table and chair. I can have plenty wiggle room for short walks, overnights, extended stays, and general little hang out sessions.
