I'll pamper your pooch with love

Pet care experience

I'm a young, outgoing, active guy who's a Native Oregonian. I absolutely love dogs and enjoy finding the best products, places, and gadgets for pet owners to give their pooches! I've grown up with german shepherds all my life and recently had to say goodbye to my childhood best friend of 11 years who was an Australian Kelpie. I have experience, walking, training, and house sitting dogs. I work well with any dogs who may have anxiety or lash out due to trauma. I am also good with monitoring interactions between dogs and cats. I am available to do drop-ins, over-night stays, walks/jogs/runs, as well as offer any tips for training if you're new to owning a dog. I look forward to meeting you and your best friends!

This is my best friend. He's friendly and charismatic; dogs and grandmother's alike adore him. His hobbies include long walks on the beach, but only if he's walking a dog. You won't find any man better with animals, or more equipped to take care of your enthusiastic dog baby. Stray cats, squirrels, and dogs flock to this man in the streets, ensuring he's never without an animal companion. He's been sued several times by Disney for copyright infringement on the beloved animal companion, but has triumphed each time as the original animal lover. There's no one better suited for the job than this man
