I’m the Practice Manager at a local veterinary clinic and have direct access to four veterinarians if a medical question or concern ever comes up. Pet safety and well-being are always my top priority. Availability • Midday care (12–1 PM): Limited to a very short driving distance from downtown Southern Pines due to my work schedule. • Evening care: Available throughout Southern Pines and Pinehurst. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable handling pets with special instructions or medical considerations.

Safety, trust & environment

I always love to communicate with people on what their pet needs and what they like. Each pet has its own personality and I enjoy learning them as they were my own. For example my dog takes meds better by trickery but I have another that you have to put it in the back of her throat then she gives you angry teeth.

Information Dustin M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know anything important about your pet, such as their routine, feeding schedule, medications, preferred walking style, reactivity, quirks, comfort items, crate habits, and how they typically interact with other pets or new people. The more I know, the better I can keep them safe, happy, and comfortable.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality—whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or enrichment games. My goal is to make sure they have a fun, safe, and stress-free time while you’re away.

Dustin did a great job with our senior pit bull. He gave him lots of love and attention. He also gave a little extra time making sure he wasn’t lonely. Highly recommend and will be using Dustin again in the future.

Dustin and his girlfriend Karen provided exemplary service. They were very attentive and loving to our girls and did everything we asked for. They were professional yet still personable, and it’s very clear that they have genuine love for animals. We will be definitely using them again in the future!
