Some call me the Dog Whisperer ...
Pet care experience
but that's a bit much and better saved for Mr. Cezar Millan but I do follow his teachings and have worked with many animals & difficult horses with his techniques. I've experiance with full rehabilitation of very abused dogs & horses and even trained them to work at service dog levels of obedience post abuse. Solid leadership & loving hands ... Mi casa es su perros casa :) Seriously, I love all dogs and know how to handle even the difficult strong breeds such as mastiffs, pitbulls ect. As a former owner of an amazingly stuborn Rottweiler, I know how to gently lead them to better behaviors. I can even work on vices or undesirable behaviors you or your dog may have that you would like to see corrected. Please let me know of any and all dietary preferences, meds or supplements to be included during feeding times and dosage with booking inquiries. Thank you!

We don't have enough words to thank Dwayne and his family for such a great work taking care of our two dogs. He not only pet sitter them but also taught them better manners. He could managed our dog's anxiety and made him feel better. We weren't wrong when we chosen him to be responsable with our dogs. Dwayne is excellent!!!
Our pups had a great stay! We will definitely let our two dogs stay with Dwayne again. Thanks!!!
Dwayne and his family took great care of Lehua during her stay. I decided to have her stay for 1 night as a trial to be sure she had no anxiety about the new surroundings or the caregivers before booking a longer stay. Dwayne's home environment is just what i was looking for with a secured back yard and nicely maintained. My border collie is older at 12 years old and super mellow and loving. She loves people, kids and tolerates other dogs that are low energy like her. Dwayne's family environment was perfect for Lehua and I could tell when i picked her up that she would absolutely be fine with a longer stay.
I was looking for someone to take care of Zoey while I was on a trip that would give me a piece of mind. Dwayne seemed like a confident dog sitter with experience. When we met up prior to stay he said he doesn’t have any dogs and I mentioned that my dog had trouble being part of an animal pack. When we show up to drop her off hours before our flight I realized there are three other dogs in the house that were not mentioned prior. During the first few minutes one of the dogs ate Zoey’s food and that was when I knew it will be trouble. Dwayne said it’s ok, he has enough room in the house to keep them separate. Which as I found out later meant keeping Zoey locked up in a room, where out of the separation anxiety she chewed up a door frame (which she has not done since she was a little puppy 7 years ago). However, Zoey seemed to be well exercised when we got her back and as promised, Dwayne said the other dogs did eventually accept her into the pack. Arriving back we received a additional $75 bill for the destroyed door frame and food that she ran out of. He charged $15 for three days of food. The amout of food provided should’ve been more than enough, as I gave 1/2 of that amount for a 4 day stay and got half of that back. Maybe she shared food with other dogs this time that we ended up paying for. Idk. In addition, both of the toys we provided for Zoey (a rope and a ball) were not returned to us, nether did we see a refund from Dwayne for them since he was so mercantile. Clearly Dwayne is good with dogs, we just wish our dealings were more open and clear cut
