Retired, U.S. Marine

Pet care experience

I grow up with dogs for most of my childhood and have own/worked with animals. Check out this list: 4 dogs, 4 cats, 2 goats, and 12 chickens at one time. Currently, have three dogs. Marine Corps rules still apply -- honor, courage, and commitment. I stand by my word and support it with my work ethic.

There is no other PROFESSIONAL whom I trust my dogs and cats with other than Dwayne. As a practicing Veterinarian myself, this retired 20 year career USMC Staff Sergeant and retired Registered Respiratory Therapist Hospital Supervisor has consistently time after time again manages to embody the very epitome of EXCEPTIONAL DILIGENCE, PROFESSIONALISM, ATTENTIVENESS, POLITENESS, and most of all, a TRUSTWORTHY petsitter and pet walker throughout 15 years that I've only ever exclusively used his services for my fur babies. The very moment Dwayne walks into tour home, ALL of my dogs and cats stand attention. Dwayne is truly a pack leader and it is evident as soon as you witness him around a pack of dogs. Yet he's so gentle and loving to the needs of my cats whom all flock to his lap and spend hours sitting still just to receive soft pets and scratches from him. They won't even do that for me!!! And I bribe them with treats!!! I highly, highly, highly recommend Dwayne's Pack Walks and Pack Hikes for any kind of dog breed who could use a customizable exercise experience outdoors where they will enjoy feeling the earth beneath their feet and the breeze felt on their fur that they won't experience with any pet walking services or daycare or play group- Only will your pets get this incredibly long-lasting and authentic bang for your buck experience with Dwayne. And that's why I will never again pay for my dogs be bored walking around the same anticlimactic indoor play group hard floors building set up, or my cats be given just one scratch to the neck before a petsitter leaves them alone because they think I'm not there to actually know (I was a petsitter once before too!). If you want your animals authentically loved and exercised, and your money very well spent, then I would look no further than this exceptional individual to entrust with all of your loved ones care and physical happiness and well-being.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard that is about 1/2 an acre. Additionally, my dogs are all indoor dogs and they love just laying around watching TV. I ensure that my dogs eat twice a day with health snacks. When they go for a walk they are dressed for inclement weather and we avoid hot payment by taking hikes in Prince William National Forrest or Locust Shade Park.

A typical day

I allow dogs to explore the area with thier nose and make sure to avoid anything that may hurt they. My dogs usually go to the local dog parks in the Prince William County area. Our favorite area is Prince William County National Forrest and Leesylvania State Park for the special walks.
