Safety, trust & environment

I tend to let the animal dictate the terms. If they want affection and playtime then it's all theirs, but if they desire space I'll let them be. They get food in the morning and evening, with some treats interspersed throughout the day if they've been on good behavior. Dogs are taken out around 4 times per day, more if required (depending on the dog). Cat litter is scooped at the end of a visit/day and dogs are picked up after immediately.

Information Dean W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has some special needs that I would need to be aware of. I would also like to know if your pet is high energy, low energy, loves playing just the personality of the dog so that I get to know what to do.

A typical day

I love having cuddle time with pets and I talk to them so that it isn't too quiet for them. I provide fun time which lasts until the pet is tired or over playing. I like to toss treats in areas that may be time consuming to find so that they get some type of enrichment by sniffing around and getting a reward in the end. I love taking pictures of pets, especially when they act silly.

No ruff times with your dog!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of larger dogs such as Rotties, German shepherds, and Labs. I've also taken care of smaller dogs and puppies. With the dogs that I've cared for, I've fed them twice a day, provided enrichment, walks, playtime, and lazy time. I have cared for litters before which is super fun, adorable and hectic as expected.

Dean did such an amazing job housesitting for us while we were on vacation. He took care of our chihuahua and Persian cat and they loved him! We got pictures of our pets everyday and I could tell how well they were being cared for. Dean was very communicative during the whole process and took great care of our home as well. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!
