I work from home and take care of my dog around the clock. One of my rescue dogs had severe separation anxiety so he was never left alone in the apartment by himself so I'm acutely aware of that type of thing.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog Kirk is super chill and I've never ever had to deal with her getting into fights or even being remotely hostile. Kirk is not food or toy aggressive and I would require that your pet isn't either to ensure safety for everyone in the household. I take Kirk on two to three long walks every day unless there's torrential downpours and play with her when I can throughout the day. If it is raining I have roof access and a grass patch for my dogs to relieve themselves. The roof is 100% enclosed by a four foot high wall and very safe. I also take them on a quick bathroom break late at night to ensure they can make it till morning. If your dog is well balanced I would take them to the dog run at Herbert Von King Park if that's something you're interested in. My place gets great sunlight all day long so there's plenty of opportunities for your fur pal to lounge in the sun and get sleep in wherever they like.

Information Earl H. would like to know about your pet

Would need information on their behavior on walks and generally how they interact with other dogs and strangers on the street, whether it's safe for them to visit the dog run, be around other dogs etc. We can get into the finer details when we schedule something.

A typical day

A typical day starts with breakfast and a long walk and some play time. Your dog would have my dog to interact with during the day and have plenty of places to curl up for a nap if alone time is needed.

Pets

I work from home almost always

Pet care experience

I was raised with cats, large dogs, small dogs and have my own dog whom I've been with for ten years. My other dog I had at the same time passed last year so I have experience with looking after multiple dogs.

Earl was wonderful - he walked my dogs for a good solid hour and they can be a handful. They were sleepy all evening! Great reporting and very reliable. I will use him again!

He did amazing, sent me lots of picture of my baby and kept me updated regularly. He is so sweet and I highly recommend booking with him he’s great and took my dog out a lot!

Earl takes my pup, Cola out and feeds her dinner twice a week, and occasionally also does the same for my partner's dog. Earl is so reliable and has been open to working with my very random schedule. My dog is nervous and afraid of the outdoors, and Earl is patient and works with her anxiety. He lets me know about any quirks or changes in her behavior and is very communicative. He checks in every week to see when I'll need him. I really recommend Earl if you need someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of your pet.

I’ve trusted Earl with my 2 Boston terriers over the years for whenever I have to travel. He’s very responsible, sensitive to each pets needs and most importantly my dogs love him!
