I'll love your dogs like my own!

Pet care experience

I'm a student at Carnegie Mellon University who loves to constantly be engaged in productive and positive activities. With some of my extra apart from academic and extracurricular priorities and obligations, I am passionately inclined to offer myself for the service of dog owners who are in need of assistance. Furthermore, because I'm many hours away from home - therefore my own puppies - tending to the needs of others' dogs helps to fill that absence of pure, unadulterated joy and love that dogs offer. I was born and raised on a farm and have cared for a variety of animals (as you can see by some of the pictures on this profile). I've helped raise guineas (the bird not the pig), chickens, rabbits, cows, goats, sheep, and dogs on my family farm. I can vividly remember spending hours each day in the winters tending to the runt/"unwanted" kids that the mother goat didn't accept. These long hours with animals have fostered a special place in my heart. I will do my best to ascertain they receive the proper care, treatment, and compassion. Integrity and diligence are pillars that will guide me in completing the assigned service for one's dog because, well, that's just who I am. In high school, I completed hundreds of hours of community service and served as the president of the National Honor Society where I further developed my passion for making a positive impact in the surrounding community. I want to keep the prices for my services relatively low because I'm not here to make a fortune, I'm here to - first and foremost - have a positive impact on my surrounding community and to make a few dog owners lives' a little less "ruff." Message me with any questions or to meet up!

Douglas Gearhart is a deeply compassionate, dependable, and conscientious young man. He is very experienced when it comes to taking care of animals due to his background of living on a farm. I have always admired his immense love for his two farm dogs; despite his demanding school and extracurricular activity schedule, he consistently factored them into his life and spent quality time with them. In continuation of his dedication to academia, he will be pursuing chemical engineering at Carnegie Mellon university. But due to this change in setting, in order to continue his dedication to caring for and loving animals, he will need to lend his services to a canine in closer proximity. Douglas's gentle yet steadfast character is one you, and your dog, will be more than happy to know and trust.

Douglas is very responsible, reliable, and punctual. In the four years that I have known him, he has always done what he said he was going to do when he said he was going to do it. He always gives his whole effort to whatever he takes on. He will be wonderful with your pets! Growing up on a farm and having pets of his own has prepared him to work with animals of all kinds. I absolutely trust that you will be 100% satisfied with Douglas’ care for your pet.
