More than just a dog walker
Pet care experience
I began my journey with dogs 13 years ago when my oldest daughters mother brought a 6 week old pitbull puppy home for me. He was the cutest thing I'd ever seen. It didnt take long before I realized that he needed a leader. And that leader needed to be me. For years he was my only dog. Giving him %100 of the time and attention he needed to be a well adjusted companion for me and my children. In 2014 I was given the opportunity to train and compete with sport dogs for frisbee competition. Through that I was led to rescue/rehab/rehome of all types of dogs. From the mild mannered lapdogs, to level 5 biters with food and toy aggression, to dogs with a number of different fears. All with one thing in common. They forgot how to be a dog. Which is where I came in. My job was to bring the dog back to the surface. After being removed from that life for a few years, I'm finding my way back. Walking and caring for dogs is what makes me feel like I make a difference. Not only because I'm helping dog owners feel their fur babies are in good hands but the dogs themselves show appreciation for the life they have. Nothing I've ever done has given me the fulfillment that working with dogs and owners has.
Reviews
Demian was a great host to Charlie during his stay. He is a very knowledgeable sitter and was very easy to communicate with. I will definitely be using Demian's pet sitting services in the future.
Demian did a great job for my family. Our doggie stays with his grandparents while we are on vacation, and they need help walking him. Demian was prompt everyday and and took extra time to talk with my parents about ideas and strategies to walk the dog more easily on leash to reduce pulling or barking at other dogs. He came to meet with us first and talk through the routine. Our dog barked and was overly excited, (which we need help working on!) and within moments Demian had him calm. While on our trip, we got daily updates which made us feel comfortable as well. It's clear that Demian loves dogs and knows his stuff when it comes to dog behavior/training. He's great to work with and we will hire him again for sure.
Demian and his family took excellent care of our senior Boxer (albeit still with considerable energy on a walk!) Demian made sure our dog did not get overheated during the very hot days of his stay. His family showered love on him as if he were their own. We couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend Demian when you need to board your dog.
Demian was amazing! Queenie had never been boarded before and we were a bit nervous as she has a shy and stubborn personality and she can be particular about the people she listens to. We specifically requested Demian because of his dog behavior and training experience and it was exactly what she needed. He addressed every worry we had and sent us daily updates. He was extremely patient with her and, by the time we came to pick her up, she was treating him like family. I was so happy I could just relax and focus on my family trip. We highly recommend Demian for all dogs, no matter what level of attention they require - he truly understands what each individual needs!
