I highly recommend Dean. He is patient, responsible, calm natured, and has a genuine caring heart for all animals. He has cared for our 3 dogs for several years, including into their senior years and there is no one I trust more with their care.

Safety, trust & environment

-In own home, we have general open space for them to come in and out of home. Block off dog door in special times (when pool guy comes). Set times for feeding in morning and evening and set times for walks during moderate temperature (i.e. in summer only walk early mornings or evening when it cools off). -Make sure to watch what dog eats, always be wary of what human food in kitchen could be hazardous to the dogs. -When walking, continually evaluate behavior of other dogs and reactions to each other when passing by. -Continually check water bowl to ensure it is full.

Information Dean M. would like to know about your pet

Ahead of time it will be helpful to know -their temperament with interacting with other dogs and people. -their endurance level for walking and how far is their general limit. -what medications they may be taking at moment. -how to prepare their food and at which times during the day. -any other special needs they require or activity they enjoy doing as part of their daily routine.

A typical day

I get along well with both high energetic dogs and more laid back ones. If they want to play catch it’s not problem for me to stay outside for a while and toss a ball for them, or play tug of war. For more low energy dogs I can still give them attention with holding chew bones or brushing their fur.
