Pet care experience

Animal lover

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 always great with our dog. She really enjoys staying with his family and his two very laid back small dogs. We will be back! Thanks Duran

Duran was fantastic as always. He took great care of Pujo. We’re very thankful to be able to rely on Duran when we need to go away. Thank you very much, we appreciate you.

We had a wonderful experience! He took Lucky at the very last minute, which we really appreciated, and kept us updated with pictures while we were away. Lucky looked so happy and comfortable the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him! 🐶❤️

Duran was so great with our two aussies!!! Our boys are getting older and needed a little more attention. He was quick to respond and extremely attentive! We will certainly be using him in the future!
