I grew up in a home with eight dogs, so I am very experienced with taking care of pets. My father was the executive director of the Humane Society of Yuma, and currently owns Purrfurred Pets vet clinics in Phoenix, AZ. Dogs are very in tune with their senses, and they can smell fear or discomfort from a mile away. Dogs are always comfortable around me, because they know that I'm a trustworthy human who has an understanding of them. I have been in several situations where a dog owner is surprised their dog was friendly towards me, and that they are usually wary of strangers. This is due to dogs innate ability as pack animals to sense positive energy. I was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps after 5 years of service, so although you may find more inexpensive pet care elsewhere, you can guarantee that you're getting a responsible and knowledgeable pet-sitter when choosing to utilize my services.
