Dogs Are My Best Friend

Pet care experience

Animals are gifts to humanity, I truly believe this. Dogs may very well be nature’s angels to help support and guard us from the world’s troubles. They are our best friends, our confidants, our guardians, and as for me, they’re my beloved children. This isn’t hyperbole, my little furballs are my cherished babies, and you can rest assured I’ll treat yours like my own. Dogs have been a major part of my life since childhood, and every single one has enriched my life in ways I can’t quite articulate with words. They just have a way of penetrating straight into your heart and soul, melting even the coldest of hearts. I still remember my very first pup named Misty, and she pretty much set the precedent. Each pup that followed was so unique and special, the bonds were incredibly fulfilling. I know having these angels in my life has made me a better, more compassionate person. I currently have a Dachshund named Lala and another little dog named Daisy. Lala’s brother Max was also my beloved fur baby until he passed away. Losing a dog is such a painful experience, but the love you feel for them never leaves. I’m constantly amazed by dogs’ intelligence, optimism, and fierce loyalty––and I’m grateful I can do something that brings me so much satisfaction and joy. Caring for animals doesn’t even feel like work, it’s more like therapy than anything else. Lala and Daisy are super friendly and they always enjoy meeting new friends. The best part of this work is getting to know each pup through quality time, peeling away layer after layer like an onion. People think dogs are simple creatures, but I disagree. They are simple in the way they show us love, but they are complex and highly sensitive to their environment. I’m always blown away by how my dogs can read my moods and emotions, even before I know how I’m feeling. They truly are the best companions, and humans are so lucky to have such marvelous creatures in our lives. I work from home so my schedule is open and very flexible, so I can adapt my services to suit your needs. I know this process can be stressful being a fur dad, but I want to offer a worry-free, safe, and loving home away from home while you’re away. I relish spending time with dogs and often engage with play. Just as human children need genuine engagement and positivity, I am the same way with my fur babies. I’m friendly, thoughtful, respectful, empathetic, and kind. I take pride in being a good role model in the world and want to do my part to bring more love and compassion to my community. Your pup’s needs will always be my highest priority, and I will go above and beyond to form lasting bonds with you and your most cherished fur baby.

I left Tuggly with David for 4 days. Tuggly was very happy and had lots of fun with LaLa, David’s furr baby. I would not hesitate to leave her again. David was very nice and even let Tuggly sleep with him. Thanks again David!

Information David M. would like to know about your pet

As a fur dad, I know your dog’s safety and happiness are of utmost importance. If you’d like to schedule a meet and greet, I’d be happy to set one up. It’s a great way to make sure everyone involved is comfortable, and it will offer an opportunity for me to ask all the necessary questions regarding your pup’s routines, likes and dislikes, diet, medications, preferred modes of play, etc. The more information you can provide the better! Hopefully your pup gets along with other dogs since I have two small ones myself. Other than special needs, I really enjoy the process of getting to know a dog’s personality by spending quality time with them. If there are things you want me to avoid, I will always follow your instructions since you know best how to care for your loved one. And to offer peace of mind, I will send daily updates and photos so you don’t ever feel too far from your fur baby.

A typical day

My home is a great environment for a dog since I have a big backyard for dogs to run around and play. There is also shade in case it gets hot. Again, Lala and Daisy are very social and love having playmates and sleepovers. My neighborhood is really friendly with lots of canine friends to meet on long walks. There is a park down the street that Lala and Daisy like to visit, and I live close to a riverbed for longer excursions. After they are happily tired, we’ll come back and chill with a good movie or book.
