Pet care experience

I love all dogs!

This past summer I lived up in Denali, Alaska with 4 time iditarod winner Jeff King and helped raise and socialize puppies. My duties included feeding 18 adult dogs and several litters of puppies, giving them all water, scooping droppings, and even brushing the adults coats. I have grown up around and raised dogs my whole life, teaching them from puppies and even fostering some senior dogs. I've never met a dog I couldn't get along with! Friends know me as a very reliable person who shows up on time and always goes above and beyond. A few years ago I spent time taking care of an elderly dog named Marley who needed eyedrops and had a special diet. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and meeting new dogs and would love an opportunity to meet your lovely pup!

Safety, trust & environment

When I have dog sat for people in the past I usually spend as much time around the dogs or within their vicinity. I spend time playing with them, taking them outside and running around, and also feeding them on any schedule they need to be fed with. I'm very good at accepting and following notes on how to care for dogs. If they get into trouble in certain rooms I would keep those doors closed, if they are younger or more wild dogs I would make sure when I leave they are crated safely before I leave always with water in their bowl and optional food if the owner would like.

Dustin was amazing! He went above and beyond to take care of my animals while I was on vacation. Daily pictures and updates really helped while I was gone. I will use Dustim again!

Dustin is a true animal lover. He's excellent with dogs, especially, and dogs love him, too. He's smart, reliable, timely, and respectful of both the dogs and the house they live in. He's highly recommended as a person to care for both your animals and your home.
