Pet care experience
My name is Dustin and I am a long-time pet parent to all sorts of furry and and finned creatures. I currently have two Golden Retrievers, Pippa and Clark, but have cared for dogs, ferrets, cats, and fish over the years. My wife and I take pet care seriously and I will listen to your instructions, follow your feeding and walking schedule, and provide you with real time updates via text/email (your preference). Most days my wife will attend visits with me because she loves animals more than anyone else I know. We understand the importance of trusting your pet sitter. We are a military family and have lived around the world, each move requiring us to find and trust a new sitter for our pups. It is this experience that made me want to start pet-sitting and walking for other families who just want someone they can trust to care for their pets while they are at work, on vacation, or otherwise away from home. I have my phone available and on me just about 24-7, so I will quickly respond to your questions and messages. I am very experienced in walking large, reactive dogs. My dogs are both over 80 pounds and I walk them together 3 to 4 times each day. Pippa, our girl, is a reactive dog. This means I have learned how to calm her and to avoid situations that will trigger her. My experience with my own dogs means that I am ready to take care of your dogs in the same way. I will learn how to use your harness/collar and leash and follow all of your instructions on where and when to walk your dogs. Additionally, I know the importance of maintaining a schedule of feeding and play. Clark, our boy, plays every waking moment of the day. I am always up for a game of fetch or tug and will work to tire your pup so they rest after I leave. Both of our dogs have a routine for feeding and it’s important to me to follow your pet’s routine.
Reviews
Dustin & Allyson did a fantastic job watching our cat! They sent tons of pictures and made sure to communicate how she was doing each day! Dustin was a pleasure to chat with at our meet & greet. We will definitely be using them again in the future!
Dustin and Allyison are absolutely wonderful. They truly care about your pet and make every effort to put them at ease. They give the client a lot of information and send multiple pictures of your pet during the visit.
Dustin and Allyson were absolutely wonderful to work with! Highly recommend them. We absolutely loved how they handled our two kitties and they provided great communication on how Missy and Dusty were doing. We particularly enjoyed our picture updates throughout our trip. :) We will definitely be rebooking with them in the future!
Thanks again guys. You all are the greatest!
