Fun, animal loving, pack leader

Pet care experience

I’ve been walking dogs professionally for the past 2 years. My parents had 4 dogs and 2 cats throughout my childhood. I still watch their dog and cat when they need me to. My brother had a shih tzu and a black lab (both passed away about a year ago) that I helped take care of . The shih tsu was 16 and the black lab was diagnosed with tracheal cancer at age 5. I'm comfortable with walking dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. When I come to walk your dog(s), I feel it's important that I help reinforce good habits and break the bad ones. My schedule can change weekly or monthly if that's what you'd prefer. I look forward to meeting you and you furry friends!

Drew was able to accommodate a very last minute request, made sure our puppy was well taken care of, and sent us text updates to let us know how things were going. We will definitely use his services again in the future

Drew was very accommodating to our needs. Our dogs had a fantastic time with him! I think they were sad to come back home, ha! We will use Drew again without hesitation.

Drew has a great energy that all animals can sense and respond to positively. He's an easy going guy that loves dogs of all sizes and breeds. Dogs totally respect and listen to him. I have a corgi that adores Drew. She is an alpha but becomes totally submissive with Drew, she rolls over immediately for her belly to be rubbed and listens to him without treat incentives. I've seen him with dogs that are a little bit more difficult and selective listeners with their owners and they tend to listen to him better. I think because he establishes that need for the human to be an alpha and the dog respects that Drew takes charge.

Drew has watched my dog for me while I've been at work or on vacation over the past few years. I've never had an issue with Drew. He's great with my dog and is always reliable.

Information Drew V. would like to know about your pet

Before dog sitting, I'd like to know if your dog has behavioral issues, medical conditions, preferred activities, or if they're housebroken. If there are specific tricks you would like me to work on with your dog, let me know. I'd love to help break bad habits and strengthen the good ones!

A typical day

I have a small fenced in yard that serves well for quick bathroom breaks and running a few laps. My house is on a long street in a nice neighborhood made up of mostly families. For dogs that require longer walks, we can walk down my street and even to the nearby park. I love running and will gladly run with your dog if needed. I'm willing to participate in any activities that your dog loves. If it's fetch in a field or hiking up mountains, count me in! There are many parks, trails and mountains nearby.
