Active, Experienced Pal for Pets

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for multiple pets since I was a youngster. I also worked for a large animal shelter, where I’d walk, socialize, administer medication, and generally spend time with dogs & cats. Working in a shelter environment means I have basic certifications in safe walking & I can recognize pet body language, including signs of stress. I view dogs & cats as some of the closest companions humans can have, and I truly love spending my time caring for these special creatures.

Safety, trust & environment

Having two rescues myself, I have experience setting boundaries for pets, which I find creates a calmer environment for pets & humans. I am comfortable reinforcing training habits like crating and potty training. I typically take my dogs out to walk & go potty at least 3 times a day. Depending on the weather (my dogs don’t like the rain) I will walk anywhere from 10-20 minutes, but can go as long as a client would like (some pets need more exercise!). I’m willing to follow any household rules a client has in place.

Information Dylan M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can help with. Is your let reactive on/off leash? Do they prefer a slower pace? Anything that will help me make your dog’s experience the best it can be!

A typical day

Stimulation and regular exercise is important for all dogs; on walks, I mainly prefer to let the dogs take in their surroundings so they are less stressed during the day. I find that keeping them mentally stimulated by rewarding them for quick, easy tasks also builds their confidence when they’re out & about.

I recently relocated to Philadelphia after living in the Southwestern US for several years. My wife works full time and I am looking for flexible part time work to fit my schedule. As such, I’m typically available to walk and care for pets during the week.
