Pet care experience

Loving and Caring Dog and Cat Dad

What sets me apart is my ability to provide structured, knowledgeable care rooted in a professional healthcare background and genuine passion. I have spent my life raising and caring for animals, giving me a deep understanding of what pets need to feel safe and loved. I have extensive experience training young puppies on essential obedience and potty training, as well as managing the delicate needs of senior dogs. I know how to carefully balance senior exercise routines to prevent pain and support their longevity. Additionally, as a cat parent of two, I understand feline body language and how to design an environment with proper scratch and play outlets to satisfy their natural instincts. From meticulous coat brushing to seamlessly cleaning up accidents, I am entirely comfortable with the full reality of pet care. I treat every pet in my care with the unconditional dedication they deserve.

Dog Walking • Apr 28, 2018

Let me first say that DJ is a great person. He is responsible and respectful. I have a 125 lb chocolate lab/ mastiff. DJ is very comfortable around dogs of all sizes. He is great about communicating with me with regards to coordination of the Walk of my dog. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for someone to help take care of there dog in any way! You will not be disappointed.

Dj is an avid dog lover. He has been around dogs from a young age. He has a natural connection with all dogs. I would trust him with all 3 if my dogs anytime.

DJ is absolutely great with dogs. He spends a lot of time at my house, and I swear my dog gets more excited to see him sometimes than he is to see me! He talks about his own dog a lot as well, and I can see the love in his eyes whenever he comes up. I would trust him to watch my dog any day!

Schedule

I am currently working part time in the evenings, so early mornings and afternoons are when I have the most availability. Having 3 days off every week provides me with extra time to spend with your pets as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

Building trust means keeping a pet's environment safe, predictable, and stress-free. In your home, I strictly adhere to the layout and boundaries your pets are already used to. I carefully manage household safety by making sure harmful items are well out of reach, checking that doors lock securely behind me, and keeping outdoor walks highly controlled and focused on safety. I believe clear communication is key to trust, so I provide detailed updates and photos after my visits. I am entirely comfortable keeping up with house rules, maintaining strict sanitation, and providing a reliable, loving presence so your pets can thrive right where they are most comfortable.

Pets

A typical day

To keep your pet happy, I would like to know what their favorite thing to do is and make sure that is incorporated into our time together. I will also be very attentive making sure they are getting the love and affection needed.

I would like to know what are some of your pets favorite things to do, and where they prefer to go on walks. It would also be nice to know if they need any special attention or have special instructions.
