Only friend your pet will need!

Pet care experience

I have over 5 years of military experience handling German Shepards, Labs and my favorite Belgian Malinois. From tracking, scouting and obedience training, to cleaning there runs, bathing them and administering oral medicine. Keeping the canines squeaky clean and mentally and physically stimulated ensuring a well balanced development in their growth as a United States Military K9. I also regularly watch a clients furry friend named, “Coco” she such a sweetheart. I take her for walks, all night cuddles are a must and make sure her medication is taken in a timely manner. I have a gorgeous white Shepard I work with from obedience training, leash training and anxiety management. I love taking him running and throwing the ball around at the baseball field, so he can really let loose and stretch his legs. Let’s not forget my baby, her name is Lexie and she’s 15 years old. I work with her constantly everyday maintaining all I taught her which consists of “shake paw, high five, sit, down, stay and asking to go outside by scratching or barking at the door to prevent having accidents in the home. I take her on long luxurious walks with and without a leash to give her some monitored freedom roaming around sniffing all that she desires.

David was a great sitter for my puppy and the two formed a solid bond. It was a great peace of mind knowing my puppy was with someone who engaged with him.

I am a consistent repeat client of David’s and he does a wonderful job every time! He always takes my dog on long walks, is respectful in my home, and even gives Charlie meds. Could not ask for anyone else to give me more peace of mind when I am out of town! Thank you 🙏

Safety, trust & environment

My dog is a close proximity dog, so I have 2 beds in the home. One in the living room and the other one near my desk for when I’m doing work. I care for a dog that has a perimeter collar to prevent from leaving the premises since she has a doggy door, so I always ensure that’s it on properly and comfortably. Do not need her leaving and getting in unnecessary and unsafe activities. I also like the environment being entertaining for the furry friend so I like taking long walks, throwing a ball or frisbee around and training so they can have fun while learning a new skill. Let’s not forget the treats a pets best friend besides there toys, I like taking dogs on field trips to the park, Petco/ Petsmart to pick out treats and a soothing relaxing walk around LSU lake. I also send pictures keeping clients up to date throughout the interactions to display that your pets needs are being met and to also show that they are having a “WHOOF” of a good time. Well, can’t leave out the fluffy cats, my favorite thing is to hear a cats purr and meow! Such an amusing sound to hear, never ceases to make me chuckle. I love cuddling with the cats when they warm up to me and watching them run after things in “attack mode.” Entertaining them as much as possible is my goal to ensure they get the best out of my services. Comfort, and safety is my number one priority.

Information David B. would like to know about your pet

Any medications needs, treat preferences, food/diet restrictions. Does your pet get heat exhaustion easily, have difficulty with slow consumption of their food, their dislikes/ triggers, i.e ( bikes, other dogs, people, etc.) Are there any actions your pet do you might have concerns about that may cause harm to themselves.

A typical day

I love to be outside, so long walks around LSU lake, having them run after a frisbee or even playing fetch at the baseball field feels like I’m in my element. It is always exciting doing it with a four legged friend considering they always keep you on your toes!
