Pet care experience

Having had dogs all my life, I know firsthand how to give large, loving breeds the care and attention they thrive on. My current dog is a senior German Shepherd-Rottweiler mix, which means I have real, everyday experience with senior dog care... from slower walks to extra patience and comfort. I've also cared for friends' dogs while they were away on vacation, so I'm no stranger to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable when their owners are gone. I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own.

I highly recommend Dustin as a dog walker. He’s an amazing dog dad to his pup, Kona, and it really shows in how well cared for and happy Kona is. Dustin is dependable and genuinely loves being around dogs. I’d trust him with my own pets without hesitation. Any dog in his care will be in great hands!

Dustin is my son. When he was in middle school, we got a dog. It was his responsibility to walk the dog everyday. He took his duties seriously and loved taking care of her until she passed away. A few years later, we got another dog and since he was older, he was even more involved in the dog's care, including attending training classes and working with the dog in its training, until he went to college. As an adult, Dustin and his wife, then girlfriend, got their current dog as a puppy, At the time, they were living in an apartment so it was not very convenient to housetrain the puppy because it had to be taken out and walked, they couldn't just open a door and let it out. Shortly after that, they bought a house with a yard. I suspect the puppy was a big factor in the decision to buy the house and to make sure it was suitable for the dog. Since then, it has been Dustin's "job" to walk the dog daily, usually twice a day. Now that the dog is getting older, I suspect one of the reasons he wants to join Rover.com is because his dog only wants slow, short walks and Dustin uses that time to get in some exercise, as well as giving the dog exercise. He really loves dogs, and has always been a responsible and caring pet owner.

Dustin is amazing with dogs, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. He is patient, caring, and naturally great with them, and dogs seem to trust him right away. He is also super friendly, reliable, honest, punctual, and great with communication. As a local dad and familiar dog walker in the area, he is someone people naturally feel comfortable trusting. He also spent over a year training his current dog, who earned a Canine Good Citizen certification, which says a lot about his patience and dedication. I would absolutely recommend Dustin to anyone looking for someone who truly loves and understands dogs.
