Experienced, flexible pet sitter
Pet care experience
I am a lifelong dog owner, with experience caring for extremely young puppies since the age of 15. I work with dogs professionally as a groomer and previous to this worked at various kennels over the course of several years. I can administer medications including insulin, provide basic training for younger pups, and have also cared for animals outside the norm such as birds, reptiles, and horses. Additionally I am comfortable working with pets that may be less socialized or particular, with a few added meetings prior to the stay (at no extra cost!) so they can get used to me. Historically in both my professional career and my pet sitting endeavors I have been known for being great with pets that others may consider more “difficult”!
Reviews
Dex did a great job again keeping our kitty happy!
Dex was great with our kitten! He’s highly social and we didn’t want to leave him alone with only daily drop-ins so Dex stayed the night and house sat for us. They did an amazing job and kept us updated with pictures and texts daily. Will definitely re-hire Dex in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for pet care.
Dex was very sweet to my girls especially Raven, my shy girl. They were very patient with her and provided her with the comfort needed for Raven to get comfortable. My girls were treated like family with Dex, and that is all I can ask for. This was my first time leaving my girls with a stranger rather than family, and I was very nervous. Dex has melted away those nerves. I plan on using their services again for another upcoming trip.
Very nice my dog just loved being with them! I would definitely use them again. I felt good about leaving my baby boy I’m their hands. Thx again dex!!!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I love doing enrichment type activities with the dogs I watch, like playing with toys or taking them for walks and/or hikes in nearby parks. As a dog owner and enthusiast I can’t resist those cute faces, so they get plenty of snuggles and cuddles from me! Having quite a few years of experience working in kennels I am able to provide a professional level of safety procedures and attention to the details that make your pet unique. I also always provide clean up services (including washing and replacing any bedding, towels, etc I use, taking out trash, cleaning dishes, and any general tidying up) at the end of my stay.
Information Dex T. would like to know about your pet
Any little quirks your pup might have especially regarding how they are with other people and dogs when out on walks. I have a lot of experience working with reactive dogs on walks, and I am strong enough to handle large dogs that are reactive, so that is not an issue at all I just like to know beforehand so I can be prepared and be able to keep your pet as safe as possible!
A typical day
I love being active and including the dogs I care for in that! I live right near a park, I know all the trails and I’ll take your pups there (if authorized by you!) or I like walking at the West Woods. Higher energy dogs can accompany me on a jog or run, or we can play fetch or with a frisbee with an adequate outside area!
