Pet care experience

Dog owner/sitter for 14 years!

I'm 37 now, but since I was a child I've helped raise animals of all shapes and sizes. Some by myself, one of which is my very best and closest friend Percy, my dog. Had him since he was a pup. Actually turned 12 this year so I guess he's not a baby anymore! I've also taken care of 4 large dogs at once and 4 mixed sized dogs with cats as well for months on end so I don't see any issues occurring with your pets and I. I love to walk as it's fun for all involved and making sure they're fed, safe and happy are always my top priorities. As a disabled veteran of the US Army I can't do much of what I've done to make ends meet anymore. This gives me ample time to do what I love most, sitting. Added to the fact that this provides exercise and financial improvement, these bonuses for getting a bit of my life and happiness back is priceless. When visiting for a drop-in I'll only be moving where's absolutely necessary for conducting my tasks while there. Your privacy is held in the highest regards. I'll also take proper care of whatever equipment you have( leashes, collars, etc.,) and make sure that things are placed back where they were before I got there.

Darnell did great with my fur babies. They were well taken care of, and allowed me a peaceful getaway.

Darnell was great feeding my gecko while I was away during the holidays. He understood my concerns about him escaping.

When we get in contact with one another I'll be sure to ask about any and all medical issues or unique quirks our little guys and gals may have. And if there's anything you want to add or address please let me know! I'll double and triple check with you as necessary if needed to keep your little ones happy and healthy.
