Safety, trust & environment

I treat them as if they are apart of my own family. And care for them as a loved one. I have a general love for all animals so it comes pretty easy even with the rowdiest of dogs.

Information Deshawn J. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies, daily routines, unique or important behaviors to watch for, safe to play with other animals. And favorite things when you're home with them.

A typical day

Tons of play time to get all the energy out considering animals are usually a little anxious when their owners are away. Of allowed i always try to give a healthy amount of treats when I can. And i just try to make sure your per feels safe, lived, and well cared for as if you never left.

Ill care for your dog like my own

Pet care experience

I have a long history of caring for various types of animals from new born puppies to parakeets and I love every single beautiful creature nature has to offer. I’ve been known to calm down little dogs with anxiety and I have had a lot of experience with introducing myself to and forming a connections with new dogs. Especially some that have been known to be slow with warming up to new people. I recently had a large dog who was abused and had a lot of anxiety towards humans so I know how to calmly approach new dogs from that experience and a few previous ones. Large dogs don’t frighten me and I’ve spent many hours watching various sizes and ages of dogs for friends and family. I also visit local animal shelters to play with the animals there so I can promise I have experience with multiple different animal personalities.

Deshawn did a great job walking our pups for us over a multiple day period. He is very nice and enjoyable to chat with, but perhaps most importantly, the dogs love him and got very excited when he showed up to walk them. Thanks again Deshawn!
