Reliable Pet Care you can count on!

Pet care experience

Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I have over 30 years of experience providing attentive, loving, and reliable pet care for all kinds of animals, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. What sets me apart is the calm, intuitive approach I bring to each animal's unique personality and needs. I have hands-on experience with: Puppy training – including basic commands, crate training, and leash manners. Senior pet care – gentle handling, administering medications, and understanding mobility or dietary needs. High-energy breeds – I know how to keep them mentally and physically engaged. Shy or rescue animals – I give them the time and space to feel safe and comfortable. Beyond just feeding and walking, I prioritize emotional well-being. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, belly rubs, or just a calm presence, I’m here to provide consistent and loving care—like you never left. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet like family and pays attention to every little detail, I’d love to help.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard for your dog to run and play safely outside. I have a large indoor dog kennel inside the den of our home that is cool in the summer, it is climate controlled with Heat and AC. I also have a large Dog crate available if your dog prefers a cozier private place to rest. Of course your dog will be allowed to enjoy our home freely with supervision. I know every dog is different, and I will do my best to accommodate their needs. I have a very friendly and social German Shepherd named Duke who would love to meet any play with your dog if allowed.

Information David T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, such as medicine, or dietary restrictions so that I can accommodate them. I will make sure to follow any of your pets needs.

A typical day

A typical day will be breakfast and treats, then a quick 25 to 30 minute walk in the morning to goto the bathroom. Rest inside during the warmer parts of the day with breaks every 1.5 hours in the yard to stretch the legs , run and play. I also like to do 10 to 15 minutes of training with treats once a day. I will do a longer walk at lunch if the weather is not too hot. And another 25 to 30 minute walk in the evening.
