Dogs are therapy for me

Pet care experience

I have been with so many dogs through both households I grew up in since I was a baby. The breeds include Akitas, Rotweillers, shepherds, pit bulls, cattle dogs, and even smaller breeds like Maltese. Dogs are extremely therapeutic for me and bring me so much joy. I currently have my own Dog Hercules, who is a cattle dog mix. Mine is a very hyper breed and, if need be, I can take dogs on runs rather than walks. I understand how playful dogs can be and the amount of energy and tough exterior one needs to be able to handle them. I also understand that different dogs may have different personalities and each should be treated in different ways.

Desmond is a loving and sensitive person that has been around dogs his whole life. He developed a passion for dogs early growing up. Desmond would be a great person to trust with your pets as he is most at peace when there are animals around.

When it comes to caring for your pet, I will follow exactly how you want me to treat your pet. I will feed when you normally feed them, walk as needed, play with them if they like that, leave them alone if not so friendly, or even cuddle if they love that too! Either way I will not overstep your boundaries and I will treat the dog as they want to be treated!

Information Desmond O. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know any and everything that you want me to know in order to care for your dog. If he is special needs, what personality is like meaning energy level or if they prefer alone time or being playful etc, whether I should do runs or walks, what I will be feeding them and where its stored, any medical conditions or injuries, medicines needed, any information that i need to know in order to best care for your pet!

A typical day

I can take your dog on a hike, go for a run, go to the dog park, play with him and use his favorite toys, maybe do a meet and greet with you and your dog and see if he wants to be friends with my dog, I am also open to suggestions!

Hours include as early as needed till 4pm, some days I have even later availability but it can vary. Ask me about Housesitting overnight because the availability is not letting me set different times for different jobs but I can mostly do overnight in Monday-Wednesday.
