Information Duran R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has special needs or require medication please. I've treated my dogs in the past with oral and injected medication/vaccines, those are not an issue for me.

A typical day

I have a large fenced yard to chase tennis balls and chase each other. I have a pool for the swimmers. Or they can relax and sunbathe if that's their style.

Animal lover

Pet care experience

My pets are my family. They show us love, they care for us, protect us. Their companionship is unique, truly man's best friend. It's crazy the relationship we develop with them, we've been doing this for thousands of years. You don't really appreciate it until you actually experience it. I lost my big baby Apollo to cancer in August 24. He was special, he had a great personality and so smart. He loved playing with puppies, he had so much energy for them. I enjoy teaching although i'm not a certified trainer. I enjoy seeing the wheels turning while they're trying to understand us. I'm very good with training, my dogs have learned many commands quickly. I don't use herbicides and pesticides on my yard or in my home. I prefer to keep those toxins off of our feet and paws. I'm an advocate of a healthy raw diet. Some dogs and cats are vocal, some aren't. I pay attention to body language, this is how a lot of animals show their feelings. I can assure your baby will have a comfortable stay with me. Thanks for reading

Duran, is great to work with. We needed to be away from almost two weeks and he stepped in took fantastic care of Pujo. Duran has a great personality, knows a lot about dogs and is very caring. Highly recommended and I’m very grateful.

He was kind and respectful, and I appreciated the walkthrough of where Denver would be staying. He was responsive when I reached out and easy to communicate with. Overall, a positive experience and I would recommend him.
