Loving pet sitter!
Pet care experience
Hello! I primarily care for kids, cats, and dogs. I am open to taking care of animals other than cats and dogs, but only if I was given instructions on how to properly care for them (for example: chicken, frogs, snakes, hamsters). My work experience includes babysitting children 3 months-14 yrs, cat sitting, dog walking, piano/ESL lessons, training cats/dogs (not professionally), etc. I can walk dogs for 20-30 minutes at a time, but longer than that will be difficult, as I walk with a cane. I can provide references/resume upon request. Just so you know, I'm transgender, a boy that was born female. My pronouns are he/him/his or they/them/theirs. If that is an issue, I'm sorry that we won't get a chance to work together. Lastly, I need to practice training dogs and if you would like to have your dog trained, I would absolutely love to use the skills I have been learning to help you with that!
Reviews
Dem is great with dogs!!! He started training mine over the past few months and already my dogs are a lot more calm and obedient! He is really responsible, punctual and flexible with schedule changes and last minute bookings. My dogs absolutely love him and it’s truly been a life changing experience. Definitely recommend Dem for your pet!
Demetrious is a talented caregiver. He has the patience required to work with animals of all temperaments and the knowledge to work with them in constructive manner. He is the only person I know who has ever trained a cat to respond to commands and do tricks and I’ve never met someone that animals respond so positively to. As a person with a mild phobia of dogs, I admire Demetrious’s ability to keep a cool head and take control of a situation when animals get excited or stressed. I recommend Demetrious for your peace of mind!
Demetrius McMullen worked for me a few years ago. She walked my dog, ran errands, and other chores. She was always dependable. I was impressed when she shopped for me, she purchased items cost-effectively. She is also kind and honest. It was nice to know I could trust her in my house. Highly recommend her! Jane McCarty

Skills
Information Demetrious M. would like to know about your pet
I need to know how they act on a walk, how they interact with other dogs/humans, or whether they pull on the leash or not (I have training methods to make that behavior stop). I need to know if they are known to frequently bite/jump on people. I also need to know what their favorite treats are and what their weight is (to know how much food to provide).
A typical day
Frisbee/fetch, basic training, lots of pets, brushing the dog's fur, giving them treats.
