Information Edward K. would like to know about your pet

No preference. I find that it is always helpful to know what the breed's temperament is like on daily walks, as well as how much exercise is necessary for their particular breed.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog 15-30 minutes, or as-needed basis.

Pet care experience

I am a devoted pet lover and owner of one very affectionate Boxer/American Staffordshire Terrier. He is a rescue from nearly 6 years ago and my second dog overall. I am also a former Accountant turned IT guy. Moreover, I am an athlete who spends a lot of time running and biking outdoors, hiking trails, and of course, lots of dog-walking. As a pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and responsible, and who will care for your precious family member with the same attention and devotion as one would expect from their owners; being reliable without cancelling at the last minute, and being a responsible fill-in for you in your own neighborhood and community. Let's face it, you have a busy enough work-life schedule. You shouldn't have to worry about whether your dog-walker or -sitter will let you down. Moreover, I won't be texting/talking on my phone while walking or caring for your dog either, but will be giving your dog(s) the time and attention he/she deserves. Why I love dog sitting I am the proud owner of a rambunctious Boxer/American Staffordshire terrier mix, who was a rescue from Tennessee. I have owned a cat, three fishes, 2 hamsters, and another boxer prior to my current dog. My experience administering medication Yes, I administer subcutaneous allergy injections for my dog every month. Giving your dog injections would not be a problem, if the need should ever arise. Needless to say, I can administer oral medication as needed also.

Edward was truly amazing with our 2 cats! He came every day, sat outside with them, gave them treats, loads of pets and sent pictures each day which was SO nice!! Very grateful that we found him through Rover.

My dog stayed with me for a few months and because of my job, it's hard for me to predict when I will need a dog walker in advance. Despite my many last minute asks, Edward K. helped me by taking care of Oreo. His communication was great. The pictures he sent indicated that Oreo really liked him and had a great walk each time. Most importantly when I got home I could tell that Oreo's walk with Edward made him more peaceful and settled during my long days away from him. Oreo is going back to live with his family in Ohio for a season but I just wanted to thank Edward publically for helping out in this really meaningful way!

Edward has great communication and timeliness and my dog expresses his satisfaction to me just by still being happy by the time I get home.
