Experienced Canine Handler / Sitter

Pet care experience

Thank you for looking at my profile! My name is Ed and I have an extensive background with knowledge and experience pertaining to animal care and handling. I am a graduate from Norfolk County Agricultural High School in Walpole, MA where I had many classes in animal science throughout my four years in high school. Some of these classes included canine science, grooming and kennel management, and veterinary sciences, and a variety of others. I am currently a full time student overseas at Aberystwyth University in Aberystwyth, Wales. At university, my undergraduate degree that I am working towards is in Zoology. Outside of the classroom, I am still highly active in animal care. I have previously worked at a German Shepherd breeder, and I have also been employed at large scale doggy daycares, where I have dealt with all different sizes and different breeds of dogs, as well as different temperaments and things that make them unique. I am currently employed at an animal hospital as a surgical veterinary assistant. I also own my own dog named Gunther and he is a 4 year old German Shepherd and I raised him since he was a puppy. I can provide a full resume, and references at request as well. Please feel free to contact me at any time to see if I have ability that may work for you. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile.

Ed did an absolutely amazing job watching our dog Hades. He has so much experience with dogs and large breeds like ours, it was very reassuring leaving our active puppy with him. He arrived first thing in the morning and took him on numerous long walks around Boston. He kept me updated throughout the day with plenty of pictures and texts. He even worked with him on his training! Five stars and will definitely be booking again. Thank you Ed!
