I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.

Information Edward J. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog aggressive, sometimes aggressive? Does your dog play well with other dogs or not so much? Is your dog high energy, low energy or medium energy? Has your dog received any particular training? What are some things I need to watch for regarding your dog? Is your dog ok with car rides? Is your dog crate trained? Does your dog walk well or do they pull a lot on the leash?

A typical day

If your dog likes to play, I’d play fetch or tug in my fenced in yard. I’ll walk them around the neighborhood letting them smell all the mailboxes, lampposts, and fire hydrants and paths of grass that other dogs walk. I can also walk them to my local rec center and dog park. I wouldn’t let your dog off leash at the dog park but just walk around it so your dog can smell the different smells and maybe smell other friendly dogs. But for safety, I wouldn’t let them off leash. They can be off leash in my fenced in yard.

Experienced & Responsible Pet care

Pet care experience

My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound.

Edward is the best! Tales great care of our 8 year old Pomsky. Flexible with drop off and pick up and sends pics throughout. We are so grateful to have Edward’s help when we can’t travel with our pup.

Eddy was so accommodating when our family needed a sitter over the holiday. When we are in town again, we will be back. Our dog came home happy and tired.

Edward was great with our pup. Sent pictures and made sure our dog was well cared for. I look forward to working with Edward again on our next vacation!

Ed is always on time and although Eevee is cautious with strangers, she feels comfortable with him since the first visit.
