Loving, Active Dog Care by Park

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and truly love being around them. I currently have a five-year-old golden retriever who is incredibly sweet, gentle, and very friendly with other dogs — she genuinely loves having dog friends around. I work from home full-time, so your dog is never left alone and gets plenty of attention throughout the day. We live in a large, comfortable home right next to Flamingo Park and just a few blocks from the boardwalk, beach, and Lummus Park, which means lots of sunshine, fresh air, and multiple walks every day. I’m very attentive, calm, and communicative, with experience administering medications and caring for dogs with different needs and personalities. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how happy and relaxed your dog is.

Dustin was exceptional with my dog. His experience and gentle approach immediately put both of us at ease. You can tell he genuinely loves animals, I was never worried for a second. My dog was in the best hands possible. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.

Schedule

I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and able to provide constant supervision, frequent walks, playtime, and attention. Living next to Flamingo Park and close to the boardwalk and beach allows for multiple walks and outdoor time every day. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will be part of a relaxed, consistent routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I live in a home with plenty of space to relax, and I closely supervise all interactions to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. I’m experienced administering medications and follow owners’ instructions carefully. I’m also located close to local veterinarians for added peace of mind.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day is relaxed, active, and full of companionship. Mornings start with a walk around Flamingo Park or the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and downtime at home. Throughout the day there’s plenty of playtime with my friendly golden retriever — whether that’s fetch, tug-of-war with toys, or just lounging and getting lots of attention. Depending on your dog’s energy level and preferences, we’ll mix in additional walks, jogs, beach or boardwalk strolls, or park time. I’m home all day, so there are regular potty breaks, water breaks, and plenty of check-ins. Evenings wind down with another walk, calm play, and lots of pets before settling in for a comfortable night.

To make sure everyone has a great experience, it’s important for me to know about your dog’s routine, temperament, and any special needs ahead of time. I’m best suited for dogs who are fully house-trained, comfortable in a home environment, and friendly with other dogs. Since my goal is to provide a calm, positive experience for both your dog and mine, I’m not a good fit for dogs with aggressive behaviors, excessive barking, marking, chewing, or other disruptive habits. I’m happiest caring for well-balanced, easygoing dogs who enjoy companionship, walks, and a relaxed home setting.
