U.S. Army Vet Tech - Ready to roll!

Pet care experience

For more than a decade, I had the privilege and honor providing medical care for Military Service member's pets, large and small DOD working animals and some livestock throughout the US and abroad as a U.S.Army Animal Care specialist and NCO. I feel that pet serve a vital role in our lives. They are family members and friends and they deserve the best care possible. I'm hoping you will allow me the opportunity to provide that level of care. While I'm with your pet ("My new friend"), they will be treated as if they were one of my own, but don't worry Mom's and Dad's rules are always to be followed. Their comfort and safety are my highest priority. I look forward to getting to know your pets likes and dislikes so that we can tailor each interaction to ensure the most positive experience each and every time. In the end, my goal is to provide busy pet owners with a worry-free option for times when you have to shift priorities or just need to take some personal time.

We love my dog walker Don. Lacey is not comfortable around strangers and gets agitated easily. We appreciate Don’s calm patient demeanor when working with our pup. She really warmed up to him quickly and was ready to walk with him without anxiety. He has always been a great source of advice. He is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, helpful, flexible and highly responsive as well as responsible. I am VERY happy with Don’s interaction with Lacey. Best Dog Walker Ever! I feel comfortable when Lacey is with Don and I know he will keep her safe. Best Dog Walker Ever!

Our Micky is a large powerful American Staffordshire Terrier with lots of energy who loves to run. Don has returned Micky happy and tired after each walk/run. Don is always caring and patient whether during play-time, walkies or snack-time. He is always to spoil your pet. You can tell that Don truly cares for each pet and enjoys providing the best service possible.

Information Don R. would like to know about your pet

What does the pet or and dislike? Are there any medical issues? Are there any behaviors that you would like to encourage or discourage? Have they had any previous training? What is their favorite treat?

A typical day

What's the easiest kind of animal to work with? A happy one. So that's what I shoot for. I try to approach each interaction from the pet's point of view. If I'm working with a young high energy dog, I know I need to bring my energy level up and try to stay interesting. If it's an older dog that just needs to get to his/her usual spot on the corner, we can do that too. I'm there for them, it's their time, not mine, so, why not make it as enjoyable as possible?
