Pet care experience

I have volunteered with Gainesville Pet Rescue and various humane societies. I have dog treats for your dogs if I am allowed to give to them occasionally (unless instructed not to by you because of your dog's strict diet or any other reason). There is are two dog parks within my complex and doggie bag waste stations around the complex perfect for dog walking. I love pets and have a friendly, playful pup of my own named Champ! I treat all animals with the uttermost care and make sure your pet will have an enjoyable time whether it is dog walking or dog/cat sitting. I take care of my neighbors' dogs whenever they are out of town and would do the same with my former roommate when we lived in Gainesville. I have dog sat for multiple friends and clients before and am very well trusted around pets. Your dog does not have to be crate trained but needs to be house trained and know not to pee inside the house. Puppies are an exception, I don't mind placing pee pads around if they are just learning house training. I am available most days and nights with prior notice. My schedule is flexible so feel free to contact me anytime about availability.

I live in a gated complex and there is a small dog park inside and another larger dog park inside the main complex across the street. My 3 year old lab mix loves to play with other dogs so your pup will get plenty of exercise. I can always keep them separated too if that is something you would prefer. Can easily accommodate to your needs!

Information Donovan M. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know a few things about them such as -age -size -if they are house trained -temperament -if they get along well with other dogs -any dietary restrictions -any special needs or medication I should know about to give them I have no breed preferences as I love all dogs and cats!

A typical day

I will walk your dog or dogs usually around the complex on the dog walking path unless you have a specified location where you would like for me to walk your dog. There is a huge field in my backyard if your dog would like to play there and there is even a dog park next door that I would be happy to take them to with your approval.

I mainly work from home. I have a few in person classes but they are only about 1-2 hours long 3 days a week in the early afternoon! My roommate who is also great with dogs will also be home during the short periods that I will be out so you will never have to worry about your pet being alone.
