Pet care experience

CCTA certified trainer and sitter🐕

I began doing pet sitting in 2016 for family & friends, and that was most of my sitting experience until I began my dog training certification. Now I’ve been in pet care professionally for two years, and have had my dog trainer certification for half of that.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to get an exact outline of what is expected/allowed for the pet, and am not shy about requesting elaboration if there’s any confusion on my part. Additionally, I like to do what I can to keep them mentally stimulated with games, activities, and some light obedience training/reinforcement so they can hopefully carry that good behavior over to their daily life.

Declan was great and we will definitely book again! Sent pics and updates daily, asked thoughtful questions, and cared for our zoo of animals for the long weekend we were traveling. We felt confident our pets were in good hands with Declan!

Declan did an amazing job visiting our two dogs while we were at a wedding. Everything went smoothly, and the pictures he sent were reassuring that the dogs were in good hands - you can tell he loves dogs. We will definitely be booking him again for our future events!

We received daily updates about our dogs. It helped us to know that they were well taken care of while we were on our trip. We will book again in the future

Declan was easy to communicate with and prompt with scheduling. He was great giving feedback and assisting with solutions for separation anxiety. Was great with my puppy. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Declan has been absolutely wonderful with Phantom! He’s reliable, patient, and genuinely seems to care about making sure Phantom is comfortable and well cared for. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that while I’m at work, Phantom is getting a potty break, some attention, and quality time with someone I trust.
