DOG HANDLER TO CELEBRITY PUPS

Pet care experience

For the past eight years I have cared for and handled rescue dogs for productions on Broadway, television and film. Working closely with renowned animal trainer and rescue advocate William Berloni, appearing on his reality show "Wags to Riches". During these years I have also served as a dog walker for the Manhattan based company "Hoochie Poochie NYC" and manager for the premiere lower east side doggie day care "Paws and Relax". As well as caring for others pets as they are my own, I have served as a proud owner to Muzzy, my 17 year old cat who I rescued 14 years ago and is sitting next to me right now as I type this. Rest easy knowing I have cared for a variety of dogs with equal parts love, compassion and common sense. It would be an honor to care for yours as well.

My husband and I are animal trainers for the entertainment industry. Dustin has been an employee of ours for almost 10 years, taking care of our animals both in NYC and all over the country. He is kind, consistent, thorough and trustworthy. He develops bonds with animals quickly and those bonds last. I would highly recommend him for any dog sitting job.

Dustin has watched my dogs and walked my dogs many times and has done an awesome job. Not only is he good with my fur babies but he has even taught me a couple little training tips as well. You can't really go wrong putting your animals in the hands of a man who trained dogs to act in plays on Broadway!!

Information Dustin H. would like to know about your pet

I am equipped to handle any breed and welcome the opportunity though on a personal side note, I do have a particular fondness for the standard American mutt. I will need detailed notes or an e-mail previous to caring for your pet in regards to special quirks your dog might have, medications etc.

A typical day

I strive to fulfill every detail you leave me in regards to your dogs normal every day activity from feedings to walking to play time. There is already stress added to the dogs routine with your absence and I work hard to maintain the regular schedule to ease the pups nerves and keep them on their daily routine. If you are loose on the details I will follow your dogs cue's from napping to hungry and keep them happy at whatever cost. It has been my job in my professional endeavors with dogs to try and gauge exactly how they are feeling and implement the resources required to help them adjust accordingly to stay happy, healthy and active until you return home.
