I Love Animals. They Love Me

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs my whole life. Big, small, young, old. Cats came into my life a few years ago. They deserve the best lives and they bring happiness to people. Mine are spoiled but not in an unhealthy way. I’d love to spoil yours too with play, walks, or just company.

Dean is extremely reliable, trustworthy, and just a all around joy to hire for your animals needs. He is super compassionate towards to all animals. He’s looked after my pups multiple times and I couldn’t Imagine hiring anyone else!

Dean is one of the most gentle, loving, and patient people I have ever seen interact with my dog. One of a kind for certain!

Dean is such a caring and compassionate person when it comes to animals. An example of this is he went to a ranch to go horseback riding and found a kitten whose leg had been injured from a fire. He didn’t even bother to go horse riding, took the kitten home straight away and nursed it back to health with the vets help and has been with dean ever since. He’s looked after 3 of mine for the past 15 yrs and two of them very large, an Irish wolfhound and a Rhodesian ridgeback. He has a small rescue dog and cat of his own, so he knows how to handle all sizes and types. You couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of your fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

My pets have a routine with meals and walks. I have a pool, so I also go outside when my dog needs to pee, just in case. My cat is an indoor cat so I am very diligent about keeping doors closed. Whatever you need, i’m happy to do it. I love trails as well, so if i’m allowed to take your dog to one in my car, I don’t mind that either. My dog goes nuts when I tell him we are going in the car.

Information Dean H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any tips that you have. Every pet is different. I’ll adjust accordingly. For example, some dogs like being scratched on their bellies but some do not.

A typical day

I will play with whatever toys they prefer, or run around with them. Most dogs love tug-o-war, fetch. My dog likes to chase things but not give me the ball back. My cat likes to be chased around the house and play fetch sometimes. He loves feathers on a stick too. Whatever they like!
