Dog Crazy, pretty sure they’re my spirit animal!
Pet care experience
I grew up with 6 dogs and am currently a father to an 8 month old Cocker Spaniel. I’m known as a bit of a Dog Whisperer among my family and friends. I’ve been relied on to take care and check in on my friend and family’s pets in the past and have looked after dogs for up to 2 weeks at a time before. I’ll happily take your pooches an long/short walk. I’ll happily train them new skills, help with any desensitisation training, bathing etc, honestly the list is endless. Im a patient and understanding person who will go through great lengths to take care of our loyal companions.
Reviews
Dustin was a fabulous doggy dad to Monty, looked after him like one of his own and we really appreciated the updates and pics/ vids.
Can’t ask for a better dog nanny. Was kept up to date throughout our pooches stay. Excellent service, can’t recommend enough!! Will definitely use again!
Great overnight stay again, Brian couldn’t wait to get in the house to play with Luca. He completely forgot we where there in a milli second. We know he’s in safe hands whilst we go on holiday and are more than happy to have Dustin care for him . 5 star service
Brian had a great first visit, we received lots of pics and videos of Brian and the hosts dog Luca playing together. Going to book him in for an overnight again next week and more than happy for Dustin to take care of him whilst wer on holiday for the week. Great host and brian was well looked after. Would definitely recommend as we know or pets in safe hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back yard that Luca loves to zoom around in. I wipe his paws after he’s down outside and wants to come back inside. I provide endless belly rubs and cuddles around nap time. I’ll bath/shower them if it’s needed. My pup hates this time and I’ve got plenty of scratch marks and been subject to the occasional nip because of it. However I do have an extreme amount of patience with this so I’m not hesitate at how challenging this can be from time to time. I’m happy to groom the them after a hairdry post bath. If an emergency hits we have an emergency vets 10 minutes down the road and give 24/7 treatment to pets that need it. I’ve completely puppy proofed my house due to having an 8 month old baby that has free roam around my house. However a baby gate can be used for the stairs and we have 5 separate rooms if anything might get a bit tense and time outs are needed. I believe in positive reinforcement and don’t hit my dog. However I do pick him up and move him if I feel matters need to be take. Into my own hand.

Information Dustin M. would like to know about your pet
Just need to know what they are like around other dogs. What reference training is used to help the dog become adjusted to its new environment and new people. Any underlying heath conditions are imperative to be disclosed. Specific food and treats that are used for your dog. I’m aware some foods and treats don’t agree with some dogs.
A typical day
Lots of walks and run abouts at local parks and walking routes around my area. The occasional booking at a dog park or going for a swim from time to time. Lots of skill training and mannerisms/behaviour training.

Dustin can host
Availability
I wake up at 7:30 everyday to an extremely excitable puppy, morning toilet and food is first on the agenda along with 5-15 minutes of training. Walks are done on nice days but gloomy and dull days are spent inside playing with toys and sometimes a bit of wrestling. The odd rainy days we go out and get super muddy and crazy. I work from home so I’m constantly at home bar the odd excursion out for the occasion meeting. I’m never gone for longer than 2 hours though. My pup sleeps in bed with me so bed time is around 22:00
